On February 2, 2025, I was working in my studio with the doors open when I heard chattering coming from the sky.
The Common Grackles were flying over.
I witnessed three waves of hundreds of birds soaring overhead from east to west, around 5:30 pm. Some stopped briefly in the treetops, while others kept going.
Each group flew over slightly south of the previous group.
