Not trying to compete, but late last week, had a flock of mostly young males (up to 19) and today a group of ca 50-60. A smaller subset came to feeders (25? they swooped in where I couldn’t see all on the ground) with a nice male Common Grackle. Again, it is interesting that a majority of the Red-wings have been young males, lots of brown edging on feathers and rather orange epaulets. I definitely had one adult male as well today—all black contour feathers.
Maybe the SE winds convinced them to move up a bit. anne Anne B Clark 147 Hile School Rd Freeville, NY 13068 607-222-0905 anneb.cl...@gmail.com > On Feb 18, 2020, at 5:57 PM, Barbara Bauer Sadovnic <bsadov...@htva.net> > wrote: > > We had two males out in Enfield today too, on Halseyville Rd.! > >> On Feb 18, 2020, at 4:55 PM, Linda Orkin <wingmagi...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> There are currently three male Red-winged Blackbirds on the ground under our >> feeders on Muriel Street in Ithaca NY.
