Chris, There were also very few robins in northern VA. Last year in Middleburg, VA, late February, for several evenings Annie and I watched 1,000s of robins pitch into ornamental front-yard evergreens. This year, we've seen very few passing through the Shenandoah Valley, whether in town or in the country. I've got a couple in the front yard and their singing. But that's it. No flights.
