On Saturday I was driving down Elliott Island Road when I noticed a flock of 6-8 dark birds fly up into the top of a loblolly. Thinking they might be something really cool, I checked 'em out. They were redwings, doing just what you described. I don't think I've seen this before either. Must be something about Dorchester County. There does seem to be a good cone crop this year.
