Last recorded

Record the date on which you last see redwings before they migrate in February or March.

As the departure time gets closer keep a note of the dates when you do see the birds. Do this until you no longer see them and then you have your ‘last recorded’ date.

Available historic data: we have some records from 1907-1913 and more from 1923-1939
