I arrived home yesterday so South Bass Island to find red-winged blackbirds and common grackles at my feeder. Susan Harrington reported she has had them at her island feeder since February 21. This is not a surprise with the mild winter we are having-have ferry boat service again! Bob Glauser reported a single common redpoll at his feeder on February 19 and Kit Knaser reported a small flock of redpolls that has been around since about February 21 at her island feeder.
