I have had only a couple male RED WINGED BLACKBIRDS feeding on the ground in
front yard, until early this morning when a blizzard of blackbirds landed out
back under the feeders there.
The feeders needed filling, so I ran out and scattered new seed on the ground
and filled the hanging feeders.
Later, they came back:
Over 30 male RED WINGED BLACKBIRDS
16 female RED WINGED BLACKBIRDS
4 male BROWN HEADED COWBIRDS
Several C. GRACKLES
2 RUSTY BLACKBIRDS
Many EUROPEAN STARLINGS
When things startled them, they flew to adjacent trees including my Staghorn
Sumac trees, where some of them noticed, hey, I can eat these, too !!
Snowing here. Sigh.
