Yesterday after work I was headed south on State Route 21 in southern
Summit and northern Stark Counties when I drove under two separate lines
of Common Grackles.  I couldn't see either the beginnings or the ends of
the flocks that were flying from southwest to northeast. There were
likely a few tens of thousands of birds.

In Montrose, at State Route 18 and I-77 (Summit Co.), 30 or more
American Robins are regulars in the (probably) crabapple trees along
Embassy Parkway.

I moved earlier this month and, since the birds at my new place are a
little slow on the uptake, my yard list isn't growing as quickly as I'd
like.  If anyone has any pesky Carolina Wrens, Red-breasted Nuthatches
and the like that are eating you out of house and home, please send them
my way!
