In autumn it attracts thrushes, fieldfares and redwings which feed on the hawthorn berries. Blackbirds are common and redwings ("Turdus iliacus") are an occasional visitor. Migrating birds and wintering birds often form large flocks, often in the company of Redwings. Redwings and cormorants are common visitors to the island in winter. The league added two more teams in 1946, the Muskegon Lassies and the Peoria Redwings. Wade played for two years for the Mississippi Tupelo Redwings, a nearby AAU team. After making the league tryout, she was allocated to the Peoria Redwings. In 1947, after 29 games with the Daisies, she was traded to the Peoria Redwings. In addition, she played with the Peoria Redwings. Most of the twelve Redwings built, including the two prototypes, went to aeroclubs. Redwings was founded in 1984 by Roy and Jean Germany who left in 1994. Redwings is now the largest horse charity in the UK. The former Travelodge now operates as a Redwings Lodge.
