They're baaack...

The Red-winged Blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) have begun returning to Mid-Michigan.  I thought I saw one last Friday evening.  This evening I definitely spotted two on the outskirts of Alma.  Within a few days I expect they will be everywhere.  To me the return of the Blackbirds is the first real sign that spring is on its way.

A male Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) flashes its red and yellow epaulets.
