I got a first of the season common grackle at my feeders this morning. It was scratching around looking for seeds along with 3 dozen or so American Goldfinches and the regular assortment of white-crowned, white-throated and song sparrows, dark-eyed juncos, blue jays, morning doves, red-bellied and downy woodpeckers, white-breasted nuthatches , carolina chickadees and wrens , house finches, and tufted titmice. Hope it stays around for the Great Back-yard Bird Count this week-end.
