For those looking to add this bird to your winter list.the Rusty Blackbird I first observed on Friday is still present and was feeding on whole corn and cracked corn this morning. I also observed a Raven yesterday afternoon flying the frozen waterway between Howe and Wolfe Islands. Red-breasted Nuthatch was seen yesterday afternoon. Both Red-bellied Woodpeckers (male and female) were present yesterday/today.
