I'm three and a half hours north of Jim Schwarz, but after reading his post this morning, as well as seeing the dates on the map provided by Patrick Ready, I put up a feeder this afternoon - no way do I want to miss any of mine! once a bird appears, I'll get the rest of the feeders up - in stark contrast, I still have two Redpolls at the feeders - the large flock has left, but these two guys apparently need to bulk up more before they go :) Gayle Davis North of Withee, Taylor Cty On 3/21/2012 8:27 PM, Cynthia Bridge wrote: > Dan Graham, who I believe is from the Madison area, posted on the Facebook > page seeing one in his yard today.
