It was no surprise to see again today a pair of sapsuckers including our pine in their feeding rounds; their neighborhood sojourn seems to last around 10 days in every migration period. However, it was a shock to hear and see this first-ever in our yard: some red-winged blackbirds--either very lost, very tired and thirsty, or extremely adventurous--in the plum tree. (We're more than a mile from the Mississippi or any habitable water.) They seemed to check out the birdbath, then quickly moved on. Linda Whyte (St. Paul)
