Yesterday there were 4 boat-tailed grackles loitering around (and making a
raucous) at Masone Beach on Island Park. First time I've seen them this

This probably is a scam. It happened to a friend of mine last year but
luckily no one fell for it.
The best thing to do is try phoning John to see if he is at home.

Speaking of impending spring: on Wednesday I had a Woodcock foraging in the
