I've kept guinea fowl for years as tick eaters, and they do a great job at
this.
Guinea fowl have the habit of ranging rather far from home (up to a quarter
of a mile or perhaps more), but they always return to their same roost at
night in the barn or coop. Hence I doubt the guinea fowl you
Late this afternoon a gorgeous, shiny COMMON GRACKLE visited the ground

for more than one year? I assume this is the same pair as nested there
last year, because the nest is in the same exact spot.

the woods behind my property (Pleasant Valley Rd. in Groton). Is that

Thank you to so many who have contacted me off-list. I conclude it wasn't
a black-billed cuckoo that I heard, as they haven't returned to our area
yet.
Many of you had suggestions of what I may have heard, including:
Screech-owl
Saw-whet owl
Chipmunk
Frogs
Wilson's snipe
Wild turkey

There have been more species of birds at my feeders this weekend than any
other! Today there is a RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH visiting my feeders for the
first time, as well as a FOX SPARROW, lots of COMMON REDPOLLS, AMERICAN
TREE SPARROWS, along with all the regulars. Some of the recently returned
This morning there is an immature male YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER on the
lilac tree above my feeders. I believe it was last year I had an immature
female that hung around for the winter.

There has been a green heron at my pond for at least the past several days.
It has plenty of grasses and vegetation to hide in, and it seems to hide
itself well from me even in the open, but now that I know it's been around,
I'll keep binoculars handy and will be attentive to keep looking.
I had a male and a female rose-breasted grosbeak at my feeders over the
weekend -- Pleasant Valley Rd. in Groton.

Chipping Sparrows are at my feeders as of yesterday too -- Pleasant Valley

the feeders for dear life in the wind gusts!

Yesterday and this morning there is a juvenile YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER at
my suet feeder. I typically get all the regular woodpeckers at my feeders,
but this is the first time to have a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker here in
January.
