Suan, In Feb we see a mix and the more discernible brown edging can be
called SY through the beginning of May! The lesser coverts are a big
help in ageing.

The early F-types I was referring to were very clearly female, being observed
by my grad student who was working on them for his disseration. They had begun
twittering, cattail to cattail by March. Their marsh was all unfrozen. We
were starting to wonder if they would actually build nests in M

Will all second-year males have "turned" by February, or could th
The mean date for Red-wings here based on a 34 year norm is fairly
constant with little deviation is 2/25, for Grackle 2/28 and Cowbird
2/10.
Adult males usually travel first followed closely by SY birds for
Red-wings. Females later. The latest RWBL arr date we have recorded is
3/13. Most arrivals
As someone studying redwing nesting and nestlings in the 89-2000 region, I can
say they were incredibly variable 3 decades ago. They could easily show up in
February when the winter was warm. We had actual females back in a marsh near
Binghamton/Endicott as early as February. Usually females
The RWB are about 1 month early - they used to show up mid to late March.
We had at least 6 Monday afternoon. They looked more like yellow wing blackbirds - the wing stripe was a very dull muddy yellow. There were also some Starlings mixed in.
The hills are alive with the sounds of ... RWB.

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 t
We had two males out in Enfield today too, on Halseyville Rd.!
