[TN-Bird] Bluebirds and a grackle

This past weekend I've had a pair of Eastern Bluebirds checking out my 
nestbox and hanging out at a tube feeder.  It's pretty unusual to have a 
bluebird on the tube feeder though I did have a female eat a few seeds from 
it once or twice last spring.  I've got a new mix in this feeder that 
they've been eating from which may explain why they're suddenly attracted to 
it... a nut and fruit mixture.  Maybe they like the fruit.

Saturday I also saw the first grackle in my yard since fall.  It was on a 
feeder eating sunflower seeds.
