Observed over 100 very large mostly female Red Robins in about 5 large bare-limb trees around one house. More in surrounding yards. Remained in immediate area for at least 3 hours. Appeared to leave as snowfall increased and ground beneath tress was again covered with snow.
Flock of what appeared to be Starlings appeared to be "traveling" with the flock of Robins. Just prior to the Robins arrival, a flock of Blue Jays was resting and feeding in the same trees/yards.
