Redwing,\u00a0Turdus iliacus<\/em><\/h3>\n
A winter visitor from Russia and Scandinavia, this small thrush appears in flocks of 10\u201350 birds plundering berries and windfalls, but it is shy and easily spooked. Redwings travel at night, even over cities, so listen for icy \u201ctzeeee\u201d calls raining from the dark skies. While foraging in daylight, its call has a rounded \u201chope\u201d note.<\/p>\n
