After all the beautiful spring weather, it's snowing today.
We've seen flocks of red-wing blackbirds in the past several days, and today they're visiting the bird feeders, with their grackle pals. Grackles are big but not nearly as ugly as starlings. And I enjoy seeing red-wings, and hearing them, as long as they don't stay for the summer!
"In winter, Common Grackles forage and roost in large communal flocks with several different species of blackbird. Sometimes these flocks can number in the millions of individuals."
What a thought. Millions. How creepy.
Today we also have in the bird garden a cardinal, juncos, various sparrows, goldfinches, chickadees.
One day I was out taking pictures and got two woodpeckers and a nuthatch in one shot.
