I've noticed large groups of robins in the dead of winter over a number of years. They are conspicuous because we typically associate them with spring. Just this past weekend, I saw two large groups (one 20-30 birds, another probably 50-100) here in PA during the coldest stretch of the winter. I got some photos of them scooting around in the snow -- looking for bare patches where they could (or couldn't) find something to eat. They are migratory, so my theory is that some of them just need to head north a bit earlier because of timeshare obligations.
