On 2/20 there was a flock of apporx 20 male Red-wings here announcing spring with their song. My wife has had some health issues and I have not been at home much in Feb. Many days I put feed out in the dark before I left our home and it was dark when I returned. A couple of nights I didn't return. I observed the Harris's here on the 9th and not again until the 20th. I am pretty sure that it was here at times when I wasn't. It has been very sporadic at times and very frequent at other times.
