I have a mixed flock of bright male and female birds and also young from last year. As far as I can tell, they move locally but stay all winter.

Thank you, and I’m pretty sure it was a male, although I was driving and couldn’t look too long!

Replying to Deb -- As I understand it, the less-colorful males tend to winter further north - basically anywhere they can find productive open water. I often see males along the west side of the lake in Jan and Feb.

Do kingfisher’s stay for the winter? I saw one on a wire over 79 at the Inlet in Ithaca maybe on Wednesday.

We very often have bluebirds here in winter—Halseyville Rd in Enfield—but today one was checking out a bluebird box. Yesterday had a couple dozen red winged blackbirds under a feeder, and Saturday a single grackle.

I have been seeing bluebirds around my property (Sheffield Road, Ithaca/Enfield town line) and on Bundy Road (town of Ithaca) for the last week. Not every day and only one or two at a time.

A bright male Bluebird was spotted checking a nest box yesterday & I once again saw a gray Screech Owl sleeping in a “perfect “ hole in a tree, here at Kendal. 

Owl must have other roosts, since I don’t see it there every day.

A small flock of 10-12 Grackles went over my house at dawn, headed north. Yesterday I had an Eastern Bluebird feeding on the grassy bank below my house. This morning I‘m hearing their “turalee” calls as they pass overhead, and even full songs from several scouts checking out the nest boxes.
