Hundreds of Black Birds

Monday, March 25

 

 

Last week – on the day it snowed – our yard and bird feeders were invaded by hundreds of black birds.

 

 

I thought they may be grackles because of their eyes, but they could have been migrating black birds that are not common to our area.

 

 

They were in every tree…

 

 

 

 

…and emptied our bird feeders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was kind of fun to watch them, but they sure emptied the feeders quickly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our yard was a noisy, fluttering place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…and they weren’t the only thing emptying our feeders.

 

 

She was oblivious to the black birds.

Then it was time to fill the feeders again.
