This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0058_01CA50B1.2A8E1AF0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit For the past 3 days, I have seen hundreds of American Robins flying northeastward along the Northumberland Strait. They are travelling in flocks ranging in size from 6 to 40-50. They are consistently flying in this one direction, given a few degrees north or east. The winds have been consistently from the North or Northeast. So this movement is not a result of flying downwind which is believed to be a frequent cause of reverse migration. Any ideas on why such a large reverse migration would take place and last for 3 days? ------=_NextPart_000_0058_01CA50B1.2A8E1AF0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:v=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" = xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" = xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns:st1=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" = xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <head> <meta http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"> <meta name=3DGenerator content=3D"Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium)"> <o:SmartTagType = namespaceuri=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name=3D"place"/> <!--[if !mso]> <style> st1\:*{behavior:url(#default#ieooui) } </style> <![endif]--> <style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Arno Pro Smbd"; panose-1:0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {color:blue; text-decoration:underline;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple; text-decoration:underline;} p.EmailText, li.EmailText, div.EmailText {margin-top:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arno Pro Smbd";} span.EmailStyle18 {mso-style-type:personal-compose; font-family:Arial; color:windowtext;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapedefaults v:ext=3D"edit" spidmax=3D"1026" /> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapelayout v:ext=3D"edit"> <o:idmap v:ext=3D"edit" data=3D"1" /> </o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--> </head> <body lang=3DEN-US link=3Dblue vlink=3Dpurple> <div class=3DSection1> <p class=3DEmailText><font size=3D3 face=3D"Arno Pro Smbd"><span = style=3D'font-size: 12.0pt'>For the past 3 days, I have seen hundreds of American Robins = flying northeastward along the <st1:place w:st=3D"on">Northumberland = Strait</st1:place>.
