Photo: I Am Grackle. I Am Here.

[Donkees]

It's the Great Turning in the Sky. Hundreds of Grackles have arrived this morning. They have joined the hundreds of Robins who have wintered here, and everyone is calling out their song from all directions . They have taken over all the birdbaths, and the feeding station. Snow expected tonight and into tomorrow, while today is very warm and breezy.

But boy do they raid my bird feeders.

4. Have about 60 lbs. of bird food in reserve, about half of it shelled peanuts ...

I was hoping it would last for a few more weeks, but it doesn't look that way - especially if the Red Wing Blackbirds are also enroute
