Red Wings and such

[Gary Mercer]

So what does the local knowledge say about the Red Wing Blackbirds??
They have been here in Peachtree City for about a month, and I am tired of supporting their life style.
They will eat you out of house and home, and run the other birds off, ( if they can.)
Anybody our there who know when they leave?

I got them too, small flock visits daily, maybe 20-30 but they are bullies.
Been here about a month.

Some years I get flocks of the bullying black birds trashing the feeders & birdbath a few times a year, and some years I don't get any coming around. They certainly don't try to keep a low profile when they come around!

It'll be about a month until they show up here. I don't mind the redwings, they sing for their supper. I like them. The brown-headed cowbird invasion in early April is what usually shuts my feeders down for the year. They have no redeeming qualities. Aggravating, greedy, nasty nest parasites.

They seem to have left Stone Mtn. Or maybe just found a better feeder.
