Hi,

Seemed like something was different here too:

In my yard and feeders: 
six robins, four redwinged black birds, a female redwing at my feeder, and lone bluebird.on the deck.
all appering about the same time Thursday morning at 10 am when it was 55..
Also, the same consistent 30 goldfinches and 20 house finches at the feeders which come earlier in the morning.

At the nearby Bay, plenty of scaup, bufflehead and a few canvasback south of the boardwalk. taking shelter from the hunters at Herrington Harbor.
