  The first major variable that would affect where, when, and how many robins you see in the winter time would be the weather. If it us a really cold weather there aren't going to be very many. As the weather starts to get warmer, more and more robins will be migrating north.
  Another major variable would be food supply and shortages. If there isn't enough food for the Robins they aren't going to return to that area, or atleast not very many of them. A perfect example of this would be in Ontario the losest count ever was found because of wild food shortages.
  Weather and food shortages would be the major variables that would affect where, when, and how many robins that are seen during the winter time.
