For the past 3 days, I have seen hundreds of American Robins flying
northeastward along the Northumberland Strait. They are travelling in flocks
ranging in size from 6 to 40-50. They are consistently flying in this one
direction, given a few degrees north or east. The winds have been
consistently from the North or Northeast. So this movement is not a result
of flying downwind which is believed to be a frequent cause of reverse
migration. Any ideas on why such a large reverse migration would take place
and last for 3 days?
