The first Red-winged blackbirds and Common grackles arrived at out feeders in Gilmanton Ironworks around 1pm on Monday (3/9).
These were two males of each species feeding very frantically and they moved off very quickly and didn’t return.
They are arriving here about a week later this year than is typical for our site - perhaps due to slightly more wintery conditions than normal(?). We lost over 8” of snow yesterday and the 67 degrees predicted today should start to expose large sections of ground…at least until snow returns at the end of the week.
