I wasn't there. She said that when she returned home from the store a little after 4pm today, "there must have been a thousand Robins in the trees around our house!" We have a corner house with lots of trees in the town of Glen Echo (Montgomery County). They savaged the remaining berries in our Holly tree. Worse, they left an ungodly amount of other tell-tale signs of their presence all over the place. Apparently, their droppings have obscured the pristine snow in our yard, our sidewalks, our neighbors' garage roof, etc. Guess they must be starving with all the snow cover. Anyone else experience monstrous flocks moving through today?
