Robins in winter have been normal in my neck-of-the-woods for 25 years or more. When I was younger and in particular in the '50s and 60s they were definitely a migratory bird in this region - but as with geese (and probably other species as well) they were the first indicators that I noticed about global warming. The birds in the photograph were part of a large (25 -45 or so) flock that were coming to my berried holly trees for their afternoon feed. Normally in warmer weather they are strictly earthworm feeders but not this time of year.
