A female Redwing Blackbird joined 3 males at our feeder this am about 9am. I don't recall seeing anything on the listserv about the arrival of the females. If I were as dedicated as Dave Nutter, I would go to eBird to get a definitive answer. But it is Sunday morning, I am lazy and my back hurts. I was once at Loxahatchee refuge in Fla and saw 50-60 birds in a small shrub. Close inspection revealed that they were all female redwings. I have a soft spot in my heart for them.
