Hi all,
A quick stop at Capisic Pond Park in Portland between errands this pm quickly produced the REDWING. Although it was seen in its usual spot for much of the day, I had the bird fly over me at 3:25, about 2/3rds the way to the Machigonne Street entrance from Lucas Street. It landed in some taller trees in full sun, with a sizeable group of robins.
When many of the robins took off, it joined them, flying just about tree level and exiting the park. It flew NNW over Congress Street, which I believe is roughly its behavior from the very first day. A Cooper's Hawk passes through seconds later. I did not see it return, but robins were arriving from that direction about 30 Black-headed Grosbeak-free minutes later.
So in case it's not in its usual tangle tomorrow morning, it might be worth looking a little wider.
