Thanks Ian. I would be glad to write something up. American Robins
widespread today in Yarmouth County on exposed ground of lawns and pastures.

Good analysis by John Kearney; might be worth a formal account for NS Birds,
if you are inclined, John.

Subject: RE: [NatureNS] Robin invasion
Hi All,
I too noticed large numbers of American Robins the last few days. A drive
from Yarmouth to Baccaro, yesterday February 18th, turned up numbers of
robins along virtually every kilometer traveled that was close to the
shoreline. My first thoughts were that our two storms this week brought the
robins from more northern areas of Nova Scotia as coastal berry crops became
covered with snow and ice. Analysis of Nova Scotia eBird sightings for the
past week indicated a very sharp increase of southern coastal sightings
beginning on the 14th. That timing is consistent with, but a very fast,
shift of robins from the north to the southern coast. However, it also
coincides with a very strong cyclonic flow on the night of the 13th from a
low right on the doorstep of Yarmouth. American Robins and other birds in
southern New England and the Mid-Atlantic states, especially any on Cape
Cod, that got caught in this flow would have been whipped around the Gulf of
Maine and deposited on Cape Sable Island and surrounding areas.

Same here at Martins Point John.
They are in the yard every day.
Must be coming from Newfoundland!
Perhaps there was a big crop of berries there.
Enjoy the late winter

They're still here, in much greater numbers than initially thought. The
melt-water running down the road is attracting lots of 'em. Cannot guess at
a number, but have seen them from near the golf course, through Sandbeach
and up the Wyman Road.
