Subject: [NatureNS] Northeast Reverse Migration
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?
