Just a short note - I heard the unmistakable calls of at least two
Red-Winged Blackbirds late Friday afternoon, coming from the small creek that runs
behind my back yard. I never saw any of them so I imagine they were hiding in the
dead cattail stems further downstream, and I didn't have my binoculars with
me at the time (walking the dog). This is two weeks earlier than I heard them
last year. A sign that the seasonal change is coming earlier in 2005?
