A farmer growing corn might not be delighted with Grackles paying a visit, however at the bird feeder, we welcome these attractive birds.

On March 14/15 we received 29.9 inches of snow. https://litterwithastorytotell.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2017-03-28T13:20:00-04:00&max-results=100

Spring can't be far can it?
Spring, in the air in most states, only a mirage in Vermont.

great group of photos. I found your site because I was trying to positively identify birds at my feeder in East Hardwick. I think they are grackles. Males are black and females are brown and variegated. Problem is females have golden yellow beaks and I have found males with black beaks and black eyes, but no red wings and some with lighter beaks. Any thoughts?
