The Great Robin Migration: LA Edition
Let’s start with the basics. Robins, those classic symbols of springtime, are typically associated with lush green lawns and cozy little nests tucked away in trees. Not exactly the image that springs to mind when you think of LA, right? But hey, stranger things have happened.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
Fact or Fiction?
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
There are actually robins in Los Angeles. But don’t expect to find them chirping happily on every palm tree. These feathered friends tend to stick to the cooler, greener areas of the city. Think: Griffith Park, the Santa Monica Mountains, or those random patches of grass that somehow survive the relentless California sun.
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.
