A set of three photos of red-winged blackbirds, taken by Barry. These are true signs of spring! Red-wings come back most years about mid-March, although we've seen them earlier (early March) and later in the month, but the average arrival is about March 10-12. And here they are. There is nothing more redolent of spring than the sound of their "O-ka-ree" call ringing across the land.
