I know others have seen red-winged blackbirds already, but we have not seen or heard them here at Ohio and Erie Canal Reservation in Cleveland Metroparks. Not until this morning!! Yeah!!
What a wonderful sound hearing these birds sing. We look for them to return around Feb. 14th. We have been keeping records hear at CanalWay Center since we opened in 1999. Red-wings have returned close to the 14th every year (except in 2003 and 2012 when they were here in January).
This is the first time they were sooooo late.
