February 17 through 20, widespread reports of some of the real first signs of spring - TURKEY VULTURES, RED-W. BLACKBIRDS and COMMON GRACKLES. Also, BELTED KINGFISHER returned to Ellicott Creek in the Village of Williamsville, and a KILLDEER over the Town of Colden. Several large flocks of AMERICAN ROBINS were also reported - likely concentrations of wintering birds, not returning breeding birds.
