I finally decided
to put out food again, and I have to say I missed going through photos each evening. Traffic is still slow and I have not put all feeders out yet because I kind of enjoy the relatively small amount of doves and Starlings. It was wonderful to see more Grackles coming in this week. And I am happy to report that my favorite one, the one with the specks around the neck, Count Grackula himself, has also found his way back here. With their chiseled, majestic and impressive looks they somehow remind me of horses. But then they can also be incredibly goofy-looking. They love peanut halves.
