The lake is pretty quiet in terms of waterfowl (and very high--it's come up ~3 ft since March 1). Four Common Mergansers cruised by (3 males, 1 female) this afternoon. Other than the usual yard birds, I have several Common Grackles who are hanging out with two Blue Jays. One of the Blue Jays sits right next to one of the Grackles, and demonstrates repeatedly how to lunge at the feeder and grab seeds without perching. The Grackle follows using the same technique. Interesting to watch them interact. There is a pair of Hooded Mergansers in Hog Hole. The Golden-crowned Kinglet that's been around every day for quite a while did not show up today, and hopefully had better things to do than peer in my window.
