I thought I heard a redwing yesterday, but I was probably mistaken. They will be here this weekend I bet. I have been seeing mink tracks in the snow on the ice on Stoney creek. The track patterns reflect the mink's bounding gait. They are elusive and usually their tracks in the snow on frozen streams are the only clue to their presence. I once had one bound over my feet as I was standing motionless on a bridge. I have seen them feeding on deer carcasses in the water.
Morse park had some open water and a large group of mallards around it, with 3 pair of buffleheads hanging out with them. The coming warm spell will bring in a variety of ducks and I intend to visit Summit Lake Monday.
