I have never been certain if  our local red-winged blackbirds migrate or just hunker down in the marsh for the fall and winter.  Tuesday afternoon I caught a small flock feeding on pine cone seeds at Harbor Square adjacent to the marsh.  I have never seen this behavior in red-wings.  It was one of the same trees where I had  photographed a flock of  cross-bills foraging for seeds a few years ago.
