Those damn Grackles, flock of thirty are under the feeder and making a hell of a racket, fortunately not chasing other "desirable" birds away. Hanging Humming Bird feeders tomorrow.
Our birds are down also here in S Jersey also, although the Robins have shown up in droves. Fifty to sixty of them working the yard, even Blue Jays have come back after a long absence of yrs. my favorite, Cedar Wax Wing has not been here in 15yrs which is funny when I can hit the Cedar Swamp...
