[cayugabirds-l] Starlings & friends

I’ve had numerous Starlings visiting my feeding area with the recent snow. Joining them have been some Cowbirds, male & female, at least one Grackle, & a few male Red-winged Blackbirds. Also, House Finches, Chickadees, Nuthatches, Titmice, DE Juncos, Mourning Doves, & Pigeons have been here.
