Many sectors of yesterday's Sugarloaf Mountain Christmas Bird Count reported 
seeing huge flocks of robins. We (Helen Horrocks and I) are trying to 
resolve these reports and avoid double-counting. Specifically, we'd like to 
know:

(1) How far do winter robin flocks typically travel to forage during the 
day?

(2) Would such flocks tend to stay on one side of the Potomac River, or does 
the expanse of water not make a difference to them?

Please contact me off-list if you can help answer these questions. Thanks in 
advance!
