[CT Birds] Spring Red-wings

[Pam Holden]

2/10, Colchester, 1 Fox Sparrow and 56 Red-winged Blackbirds at feeders. 
Actually, we had more in the afternoon but I couldn't stop to count them. 
I'm betting over 100 anyway.

I counted for Feeder Watch on Sat. & Sun.  There were many more birds but I 
just mentioned the Red-wing's and Foxy.  We always seem to have at least one 
Fox Sparrow here.  Is that unusual?  Also, the Carolina Wrens were singing 
up a storm, quite loudly!
