I had a flock of 40 or more last week all afternoon and spent some time looking at them since they are such cool birds. Oddly, not one had even a drop of red "wax" on its wings. I know juveniles don't always show the red, so maybe the juvies flock up as a group and that was what these were, but still no red whatsoever was surprising. Did you happen to notice if your birds had waxed wings?

Big flock, 60-70 or more zooming around from tree to tree in my Lansing Station rd yard. Visiting several cedar trees & nibbling on berries that are left from last fall's voluminous crop. I almost didn't look too closely because at first I thought they were Starlings.
