Pete,
A flock of Red-winged Blackbirds were reported here a few days ago, also a male Northern Pintail Duck. It's been suggested that because of the warmer winter they were wintering a little south of here and are moving a little northward while the thaw lasts.   

I forgot to put the redpolls on my January list:
My January tally is 10 species:

House Sparrow
House Finch
Dark-eyed Junco
Common Redpolls
European Starling
Bohemian Waxwing
American Crow
Black-capped Chickadee
Brown Creeper
Northern Flicker


February has been quiet so far:

House Sparrow
House Finch
Black-capped Chickadee
Northern Flicker
American Crow

I'm hoping for American Robins and Varied Thrush before the end of the month. We'll even have an extra day for them to arrive.
