Tweets & Ruth & Patrick,
A significant flock of robins can usually be found along Deschutes Parkway north of the bridge between the Tumwater brewery and Falls Terrace Restaurant. This location is a few blocks south of Capitol Lake. There are many ornamental berry bushes along this route that runs between I-5 and the Deschutes River. I drove by this spot Monday after finding no robins in "Redwing territory" but saw none here either.
Good birding!

...I been thinking about this sighting and since the Redwing don't go with the large groups of Robin's, there is a slight chance that he went in to a different neighborhood. We kind of searched on Sunday on to the other side from the Capital and had three small groups of Robin,s around 15 birds in each group, it would be interesting this to further searching the area more out. A desperate attempt not to give in that the Redwing really left for good...
