Hi all,
I had the redwing today (feb, 12, 2021) at about 11:00. as well as robin, varied thrush, and a mourning dove. Let's hope it is re spotted tomorrow and will continue for a while.

Thanks for the update. Was going to post about the Redwing as well.

Side note: I visited the bird yesterday and a couple of us went around to the back to poke around in as the bird was absent for some time. I saw three doves come out of the bush and though they were morning dove as opposed to eurasian collared dove. Did not get a good look so good to know you saw morning dove there as well.

Nice additional find as they have not been reported at that location.

eBird has the latest data on the bird as people are sometimes posting its location (if the bird moved) in eBird comments.

Check recent visits, looking for people who have been to Elk Lake.

Yes, I got a good 2 minute look before the dove flew off to the left and I went back to standing frozen on the path waiting for the redwing, luckily about an hour of freezing in the cold, it was spotted and i got a look in before I had to go home. Any updates will be appreciated and helpful for the whole birding community.
