Where in the H*** are my buddies?

When I was a kid (50's - 60's) in Eastern KY, they often interfered a lot with our late season grouse hunting in February. Large flocks of them would burst out of patches of vines in the woods where we were trying to jump grouse. More than one was accidently shot. They always seemed to be healthy and large even with the heavy snow we generally had at the time. I always suspected they switched to a seed and berry diet at that time of years and competed with the grouse during that season. They were always healthy looking and around in large numbers.

Lots of Robins have been wintering over in NH for quite a few years. In spite of a foot of snow on the ground I had several in my yard every day. My first song bird of the spring is the Red Wing Blackbird.
