Re: [cayugabirds-l] 50 Robins

[Nancy Cusumano]

There have been robin flocks in the Dubois area for a couple weeks now.
Duboise, Perry City, Houghton, Garrett, Kraft the whole area is full of
them. They are eating sumac, hawthorn, every kind of berry they can find.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 50 Robins

[Geo Kloppel]

At about 2:45 pm on February 5th, I was driving south along Dubois Road. 
Between Perry City Road and Indian Creek Road it was continuous Robins, 
scattering from the road shoulders ahead of me. They must have totaled several 
hundred. There was one dead in the middle of the road, presumably the victim of 
a collision with a car.

Yesterday one died on my road, probably taken by a Cooper’s Hawk. All there was 
to see was a patch of blood and a whole lot of plucked feathers.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 50 Robins

[Bill McAneny]

Hello Dave,

I wonder if your flock of robins was the same one as my flock. About 
mid-afternoon (maybe) we noticed a few robins flying about the yard.  
Then we noticed most of them in a crab apple tree loaded with little 
(quarter inch) red-brown fruits.  Not loaded any more.  I was able to 
count about 45 birds, which is close to the size of one of your flocks. 
Some of them were on the snow under the tree, salvaging the fruit 
dropped by other birds. The flock was very active and hard to count.  My 
count could easily be off by 10 on the low side to 20 or 30 on the high 
side.  We kept watching for waxwings but saw none.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 50 Robins

[Dave Nutter]

My first 2021 American Robin was on the Count on New Year’s Day, a single bird 
in the suburban neighborhood above my home on Ithaca’s West Hill. It was over a 
month before I saw another Robin: On February 6th, around the time that other 
folks began writing on CayugaBirds-L about flocks of them, I happened to be 
staring out a window with my scope aimed toward the Collegetown skyline when a 
few distant passerines crossed my view. They were substantial and dark but 
didn’t have fast and regular wingbeats of Starlings. Fortunately, they were 
tracking toward me, and I stayed on one until it surprised me with a telltale 
white lower belly and undertail coverts contrasting with brick red elsewhere 
below. Closer, and the fuller wings and longer tail supported the ID as well. 
How novel to see a Robin shape! Scanning nearby, I confirmed 4 of them before 
they went out of view. Neat, but a bit weak as a contribution to discussions of 
flocks. Sorry.

Yesterday, while trying to write, I kept being distracted by individual birds 
flying past the window, too far away for an easy naked-eye ID, but too fast for 
me to get binoculars on them. Eventually I gave up and went to the window as 
they became more organized. They were Robins, and at least 40 of them went past 
toward the bit of woods nearby, but they didn’t seem to be feeding. 

Today we were expecting a delivery, so I set up closer to the window. I didn’t 
get much of my writing project done. The Robins came back. Many settled into a 
Hawthorn tree whose numerous fruits I had assumed nobody liked. But they were 
tasty enough today. Another little tree that I hadn’t thought much about also 
had fruit, and the Robins covered that tree, too, and brought a few Cedar 
Waxwings along. Birds were busy emerging from the woods, eating, and resting in 
nearby trees. I tried to count them and got to at least 60 Robins. A few other 
birds tagged along - a Starling, a male and a female Red-bellied Woodpecker, a 
male Hairy, and also a gorgeous Flicker. I showed Laurie, who declared the 
array well worth looking at. She’s getting a bit tired of the small 
dull-colored birds. 

Then a Red-tailed Hawk, who had spent the morning next door quietly sitting 
atop a large tree, tried to join the party. Awkward! That so-called raptor was 
really bad at hunting songbirds in the woods, and after a few short flights and 
asymmetrical landings, it gave up and left. I hope it finds a nice, fat, slow 
squirrel crossing the snow. Within a minute the birds were back at the berries. 
A dozen Robins were thirsty enough that they came down to the pavement to sip 
at wet spots. I kept scanning through all the birds, hoping for a Hermit 
Thrush. No luck there, but I did notice something atop a tree about a quarter 
mile away: a young Cooper’s Hawk who has graced my yard many times this season 
without catching anything that I saw. How could it not notice the activity 
here? When my attention wandered I suddenly saw several Robins start a rush 
straight for the woods. Yup, the Cooper’s Hawk came ripping past, but veering 
off, again unlucky, I think. 
Still, everyone took this predator seriously, and the feeding session seemed to 
be over. A little while later I noticed Robins leaving the woods to fly away 
over downtown. There were 2 groups totaling about 75. The maximum number of 
Cedar Waxwings I saw at once was only 5. There is still some fruit, so I hope 
they come back. 

I still need to go out and try to ID that mystery tree. And get back to the 
other writing project.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 50 Robins

[bob mcguire]

I just got back from a walk with the dogs along Whitted Road (Snyder Hill area, 
Town of Dryden). We had a flock of at least 140 American Robins. None appeared 
to be feeding, but were moving leisurely from tree-to-tree in a SE direction.

There have been well over 100 around my place on Tupper Road in West Danby for 
several days. They’ve stripped all the sumac fruits, the privet berries and the 
wild grapes. One stretch of road shoulder looks like the goose-fouled lawns at 
lakeside parks, but the droppings are deep purple instead of green.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 50 Robins

[Todd Beeton]

Haven't seen the 50+ Robins that had swarmed Castle Heights in Geneva to
feed off my neighbor's berry tree since Saturday when they all but
decimated it.

My neighbor says she's had the tree for years but this was the first winter
she's seen anything like this.

I was at the Reservoir yesterday, not far from your place, and had 38 Robins 
drinking at a small puddle in the frozen river. There were more in the nearby 
trees I’m sure.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 50 Robins

[david nicosia]

 I have noticed a LOT of robins lately.  All over down here in Broome Co.

departed, there were small waves flying by from out of view, so there
could well have been 100.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 50+ Robins /Florida Robins

[David Nicosia]

I saw a nice flock of around 20 american robins on lower lake road
northwest Cayuga Lake January 23rd. There were probably even more.

RE:[cayugabirds-l] 50+ Robins /Florida Robins

[Donna Lee Scott]

Meanwhile, my brother in Bradenton Florida, south of Tampa Bay, reports that 
1000s of Robins are coming into roost overnight in the mangroves across the 
Braden River from his house! Hundreds are lined up on the high power line that 
crosses the river there.
In the past, I have seen this while visiting him there.

About 50 American Robins flew into our yard along Ellis Hollow Creek Road 
slightly after 4pm this afternoon.  It appears that they are planning to roost
