Memories: In 1997-8 ( pretty sure) there were redwings here all winter,
according to emailed observations . But I would not be able to recover those
email questions to me now. In that year two banded (by me) 1st yr females
returned to the Ponds and to their natal pond. Early. Females
The last one I had at my feeders was October 23 this past year. I thought
that was very late.

According to our notes, we had a female Red-winged Blackbird at our feeders on
January 3, 5, 6, 7 here in Interlaken.
I didn’t even think about it possibly being a first of the year in the basin

Thanks for keeping on
The earliest Red-winged Blackbird in the Cayuga Lake Basin for 2022 that I’m
aware of is on 10 January by Tom Schulenberg on Hanshaw Rd in Ithaca. Does
anyone have any other records on or before that date?
The 2022 First Basin Records list should be up to date - but always subject to
addition
In downtown Ithaca, we have a very large, 100+, flock of Starlings that
have been roosting in a stand of bamboo in our yard each night for the last
few weeks. I see them leave each morning around 8 am and around 5 pm they
swirl around the yard for about 10 minutes or so before they all swoop into
We’ve had a female redwing periodically at our feeders here in Interlaken, last
seen yesterday.

There's a male Redwing at my feeders this morning along with the usual
