I've had a flock of about 30 juvenile and adult male blackbirds at my feeders all winter. Apparently, they decided not to migrate south this year. The females, on the other hand, appear to have a few more "smarts" as none have been spotted since last fall. 🙂

Dear Fellow Birders:
Red-winged Blackbirds are at our feeding station, a certain indication of Spring.
That they are there with the Rosy-Finches and new snow is on the ground indicates--to us--that we have peaks and valleys in the weather ahead.
