[Bristol-Birds] Black bird invasion

Yesterday, Monday, March 20, amidst all of the big snowflakes coming down,
our yard was inundated with a large mixed flock of Common Grackles,
Red-Winged Black Birds, Brown-headed Cowbirds, and Starlings. The flock
looked to number about fifty birds with the Cowbirds and Red-Wings being the
most prominent.  At most, we've only had one or two Red-Wings come through
here in the spring. We've also had Cowbirds, but only one or two at a time.
These birds mobbed the feeders and were present all day and it sounds like
they are back this morning!
