In addition to our usual backyard flocks of blue jays, starlings, and crows,
we now have a sizeable flock of grackles.  We've counted 6, and they're
flying in and out of a spruce which is always a favorite nesting site for
various birds.  We're pretty sure there are more than 6.

I imagine the birds and other urban wildlife must be having a great spring,
with the reduction in noise and air pollution.  We have some new neighbors
who have put out feeders as well.

This "wildlife" is also enjoying the relative quiet.
