We were ice-fishing between North Bass and Middle Bass Islands just before 
dark last night and I heard and then saw two large groups of blackbirds pass 
overhead. We have been getting red-winged blackbirds at our island feeders 
the last week now.

Also heard snow buntings pass overhead. When returning to South Bass Island 
after dark, we saw a small bird fly off the snow and ice in front of us. Snow 
Bunting?

Our friends from North Bass reported seeing about ten turkey vultures and a 
killdeer yesterday.

Maybe the birds know spring is coming? Sure doesn't look like it here!
