We've also had a flock of hundreds of robins in downtown Oberlin for the past few days. They appeared suddenly a couple of days ago. We usually get this every winter. I've always assumed that these are winter residents that wander around the area as a fairly cohesive flock, such that they are here for a few days and then gone for the next few weeks. Does anyone know if this is the explanation? I guess the alternative is that they are waves of migrants, but it seems like an odd time of year for that.
