Ahh, the old migration quandry.  I've had this discussion (some of you might
say I argue about it ;)  ) for years with my fellow birders, and I think
that there are "true" migrations and "local" migrations, and American Robins
fall into the latter category.   Corvids also travel hundreds of miles in
search of food during the winter - are they migrating?  What about Cedar
Waxwings?  They can wander great distances ANY time of the year.  Are they
migrating?

Food for thought.
