Grackles at the feeder, Red-winged Blackbirds, and Robin Redbreast

Note that this is an old photo as I didn't get a chance to photograph the grackles today.

We saw the first grackles of springtime at the feeder today.

I used an old photo of the red-winged blackbird as I did not get a photo today.

And, red-winged blackbirds flew in with them. I heard a blackbird calling over at the pond. The call of the red-winged blackbirds is one of my favorites and really tells me that spring has sprung.

I also saw the first robin of the season poking around in a small part of the front yard that is free of snow.
