Hi Everyone, Monday afternoon, there was a male Common Grackle among the crowd of House Sparrows feeding on the ground under the feeders at our houselate for us, and the first one Išve seen in quite a while. Also yesterday, once again there was quite a bit of singing from White-throated Sparrows, which I hadnšt heard here for a while. Could the warm temperatures be related?
