We had our first redpoll, also singing cardinal and chickadees. I'll bite and place my bets for Thursday on the first Red-wing... :o) We have 25 turkeys.....that are eating everything...and pooping everywhere...

Our daily siskin flock has dwindled from a high of 30 birds in early February to 10-15 most days now.
