I can't boast of huge flocks of common redpolls, but small flocks do come and go. I heard the upward buzzy song of a pine siskin and managed to find 2 in the flock of 15 redpolls. I also have a flock of 8 redwing blackbirds - new arrivals for my yardlist in 2011. A flyover of a large flock of Canada geese - guestimate of 80. Two days ago, March 16, 53 wild turkeys were counted from our doorstep with one Tom displaying. And.....MUD season.
