Having spent a few hours looking yesterday afternoon, a couple hours this morning, and checking with others who have been in the park, I wanted to pass along that the Redwing has not seen in Capisic Pond since Monday (22 Feb) afternoon. It could certainly still be around, and more eyes looking would increase the odds of finding it, but hopefully this helps folks who might be considering traveling long distances to see it.

The Dickcissel and Black-headed Grosbeak were both seen this morning.

In the 25 days the Redwing was present, 1089 checklists were submitted to eBird that included that individual, with 898 photos of it uploaded to the Macaulay Library. That is far from representative of the total number of people who saw it, but a pretty impressive number. Many thanks again to Brendan McKay for picking this bird out of the robin flock on the 29th!

Good birding,
