Those must be my neighbor's Robins, which departed after cleaning out his crabapple tree last week. 😉 It's only a couple of miles, as the Robin flies. Robins are generally around all winter in small flocks, searching out the crabapple trees and other similar plants. Even so, that's a good sized flock you had. I've seen Hermit Thrush around here in mid-winter, as well, but very rarely. What was more surprising (for me, anyway) was the Red-winged Blackbird I found on the Waterville Xmas Count a few weeks ago. And these birds seem to be able to survive the cold as long as they can find enough food.
