This weekend I could have sworn I heard an American Robin flight chuckle, in the early morning. Unfortunately we have a number of European Starlings so I have a tendency to ignore 'hearing things' unless I see them because I've been caught thinking we had things like Killdeer a month early, when it fact it was a Starling. I did not see any robins, so I can't be sure, but considering the other reports of flocks of Am. Robins it may not be impossible that a few are lurking in the underbrush. I've also noticed an up-tick in woodpecker activity (mainly Downy and Red-bellied).
The redpolls continue as well, still no Hoaries.
