I was surprised to see a flock of about 6 Common Grackles at my feeders this morning looking pretty miserable and hopping from foot to foot on the snow covered branches. They were so fluffed up that their whole profile was much rounder and shorter than normal.
On the other hand, the Juncos look so comfortable and snug even as they forage in snow that totally obscures them except for little peeks at the crowns of their heads while they are hop scratching. Enjoy!! Don't forget, we need help for the Christmas Bird Count. (Especially need coverage for lake birds, we have really no one as yet!)
