All the Grackles must be down here in Wayne County. There was a flock of a couple thousand here on Saturday. Also a Rough-legged hawk flew over.

Also yesterday, once again there was quite a bit of singing from White-throated Sparrows, which I hadn¹t heard here for a while. Could the warm temperatures be related?
