March 5 - 11
Finally on March 11, the first Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) arrived at our feeders. Like Robins, most Red-wings migrate south for the winter, and typically in late February, the males will arrive back in Indiana in large numbers and establish breeding territories ahead of the females. According to several sources, Red-winged Blackbirds are currently the most abundant bird species in North America.
