jennlkFirst male red-winged blackbird sighting of the year. It's possible that there have been some females mixed in with the mixed brown birds, but as they're just speckled brown like many female birds, it's a little hard to tell.
Also, a red headed woodpecker was at the birdfeeder this morning. More than once. I've seen a hairy a few times this year, as well as a red-bellied. They seem to like the tube feeders - they work almost like tree branches, except they give seed not bugs.
Based on the tracks I saw this morning, multiple deer were poking around in the seedfall overnight.
The snow is gone except in the deepest piles. The ice in the pond thinned considerably, and shrunk away from the pond edges with the 50+F temperatures and three inches of rain. Then it got cold again, and there's a thin skin of ice over what was open water.
