Red-winged Blackbirds in Aurora
My elder daughter Allison Bailey spotted dozens of Red-winged Blackbirds around the Arboretum Pond in Aurora late on Monday afternoon. There were so many she couldn't count them but estimated as many as 50. I checked online at two bird-spotting websites and saw maps that showed the Aurora latitude as the most northern sighting boundary in the past seven days. Two exceptions were one in north Mono and one in Barrie. It visited the Arboretum Pond myself early Tuesday morning and counted seven males, all calling to mark territory.
