Wonder if the Red-winged Blackbirds will show up on Tuesday with temperatures down to -20...

yeah. while i'm just a peon, i wonder about a few of those species coming.
i have a feeling that we'll have an incredibly late spring migration this year. apparently, our frost level is at record depth this year, so nothing's going to be growing, sprouting or blooming for quite a while.

we're not even trending to go above freezing until the end of March at the earliest.
