I guess I should have been more excited to see three male red-winged blackbirds at the Olentangy Wetlands area last Friday....Rob Thorn said I should post the sighting. I have seen them in February before...but not this early. One was a full adult male...the other two were younger with only yellow epaulets..and one had some brown speckling on his back like a very young bird....hope others see them. If you want directions....let me know. Dale Brubeck ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
