Hooray, spring is coming! I saw robins today in Markham and Thornhill.

Yeah they might be slowly trickling back, but I did see Robins back in January.  Some do stay the winter.

A flock of 20-30 Robins overwinter in Lambton Woods.

Yes, you're right. I walk a lot at day time and I didn't see them this year yet. But today I saw 2 flocks of Robins in different areas (Bayview and John; Bathurst and Clark). It is possible that they relocated from some other area of GTA, but it also could be a spring migration.

I just posted about seeing a robin in February, but I heard one this morning - a little south of you - North York.
