Hi Tweets,

The Redwing was seen again today at least three different times. Here's the
info I have on the sightings; some of which is secondhand as I was at work
part of the day:

The bird was not found until about 11:00 am. By that time there were 60+
birders in the area. It was found near the intersection of 4th Ave. and
Milroy St., which is 5 blocks west of Rogers St. It was seen from about
11:00 to 11:45 in that area. It was rediscovered at 1:30 in a holly tree
near the corner of 4th Ave. and Percival St, one block east of Rogers St.
It stayed there until about 3:00. Finally, it was seen from about 3:30 until
4 pm near the corner of Plymouth St., one block west of Rogers, and Harrison
Ave. It reportedly disappeared into a holly tree at that location as
daylight faded, possibly roosting there for the night.

Except for the sighting at Milroy and 4th Ave., all sightings since Monday
have been within a one to two block radius of the intersection of 4th and
Rogers, so this is probably as good a place as any to start your search if
you decide to make the trip.

Good luck and good birding,
