I just went out to fill my feeders and flushed up a small group of Wood Ducks from my pond.  There is water on top of the ice.  Will have to see if I can get out to the nest boxes to clean them out.  Then a Red Bellied Woodpecker came to the feeder and loaded up on seeds.  There have been several Song Sparrows around for days now along with the flocks of black birds most prevalent of which are the Brown Headed variety.
