There was almost nothing at the tip of Point Pelee save for a
handful of Cedar Waxwings and 5 American Robins until 10:25 am, when all of a sudden waves of additional robins began to fly in from the north, joined by a flock of starlings as well. I figured they were fleeing from a predator, but no accipiter or falcon showed. I conservatively estimated a total of about 200 robins at the extreme tip when we left. We then went to the Visitor Centre and were surprised to find upwards of another 100 robins in the vicinity. Later, there were some found near the entrance to the DeLaurier Trail. I've never seen so many robins at one site in the winter.
