I have a yard full of robins this morning.

Big, fat robins. Hundreds of them. In January. In South Carolina.
Fattest robins I ever saw.

Apparently they dropped in, in a near-freezing drizzle, to snack on whatever juicy tidbits they are finding in my yard. The nearby woods seem to be full of them, too. And they keep swooping back and forth, and settling down to feed in the grass. In the rain.

Is this normal? I've never seen anything like this. A handful of robins may sometimes drop by in early spring. And it's true, the grass started greening up last week,what with the temps in the upper 70s and all. But this just doesn't seem right. Or, at least it seems equally strange.

I don't know anything about migratory patterns for robins. Any chance it has something to do with all the strange weather and climate change?
