Saw the first red-winged blackbirds of the year yesterday. Three of them were mixed in with a bunch of grackles under the feeders. There was also a huge swarm of starlings eating grubs in the backyard.
Robins are hardly a reliable harbinger of spring. There are plenty of them that stay around here all winter. But red wings are a sure signal that we're not far away from the end of the big sleep.
I notice this is the first post in about 15 months. Shame on me. I should do better and I tell myself that I will. But I never do.
