1. Crum Creek? Just a guess.

I don't know about the migration patterns, but I have been noticing in the past few years really large flocks of robins in late winter and early spring. Last month I saw a flock of at least 75 cavorting in the redcedars (filled w juniper berries) in the back field. That was before the storm days came upon us, and I have no idea where they are now.

I agree that these large flocks of robins are not something I remember from the old days. We're in SE PA, somewhat west of you.
