Kept hearing a noise like something was on the greenhouse roof.

He was hitting the roof trying to get out. Opened the door and he hopped out.

Saw the first confirmed Red-winged blackbird female. Thought I saw one a couple of days ago but was unable to confirm it.

Found my first Baltimore Oriole of the year. Male , dead next to a 2x4 inch squares field fence with grape vines growing on it. I think he tried to fly through it

That was years ago when the reeds were thick enough in the goldfish pond and she nested in them. Every time I would go by the pond the male would dive bomb me.
