Another cool thing about robins is that they act as the neighborhood sentinels. Whenever I hear the robins chattering in a distinctive, agitated pattern I run and get my camera because I know a hawk is in the vicinity. The robins will actually perch near the intruder continuously chirping in an effort to drive him away. Whether they have nests nearby or not they just don't want a bird of prey hanging around their community.
