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 generally disperse, ie those were the only two I ever know of to show up back in the exact area where they hatched. I inferred that maybe they never left during a crazy warm winter.
As for this winter’s icterids, 4 cowbirds incl 3 gorgeous adult males and one female (or yg male?) showed up yesterday at my feeders and returned today.
