My impression is that if you cannot find a couple hundred Robins on demand near DC in winter, you aren't looking in the correct habitat. To me that means wet woods with Holly (the tree, not the lady), but their preference undoubtedly varies around the state. However, 50,000 sounds like a really big number.
