Redwing Blackbirds

[Marvis Collett <mcslcutah at mindspring dot com>]

On December 26, during the big snow storm, I had a flock of approximately
40 male redwing blackbirds attack my feeders.  I live about 21st South and
Foothill Drive in Salt Lake.  This was a first for my yard - unusual?
Aren't they supposed to be somewhere else this time of the year?  At first
I thought it was a flock of starlings.  I have pictures and they were not
starlings.  The red wings were very apparent, expecially when they flew.
Did this happen to anyone else?
