this morning Denise and I had a brief stopover of about 50 mostly young brown-headed cowbirds and, separately, one American Redstart in our backyard.-Scott Stoner, Loudonville NY Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

A large flock of grackles just flew in and filled all of our trees. After a brief conversation (apparently), they all departed. No idea how many, but for me too many to count.

Last fall that would happen on our property; they were bronzed grackles. Incredibly noisy but fascinating. They would usually come through twice a day. Some red-winged blackbirds and brown-headed cowbirds would be tagging along. The grackles, though, reminded me of a scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. I am hoping they come back again this fall. Sheree Hipwell Schodack Landing
