I’ve seen a couple redwings here too - always a sign of spring for me!
Interestingly, we have had a Pine Warbler at the feeder almost all winter long. He seems to prefer the peanut butter mix I put out for everyone. We are in northeast Washtenaw County - I wonder how long he’ll stay around.

I have seen no newbie birds yet this year… I still have juncos too. The birds and bugs and grasses and everybody are out there, I can feel them! Just no visuals yet. Glad to see the reports!
