It’s a plague …

of a different kind! Did you know that a group of grackles is called a plague?? Well, it’s true, they are. That’s almost as entertaining as a group of crows being called a murder. Yes, the easy things make me laugh.

Anyway. I love feeding the wild birds. At the moment I have three different birdfeeders in my garden, with plans to add more as the garden progresses. I love watching their antics while they eat. I get all kinds coming to visit during different times of the year: cardinals, titmice, sparrows, blue jays, mockingbirds, painted buntings, redwing blackbirds, robins, hummingbirds, grackles, doves, and more that I don’t know the names of. Really need to get myself a bird book.

This morning a plague of grackles were having a grand ol’ time in the birdfeeder outside my garden room window. They were there long enough for me to get a video of them to share with you.

So what birds do you have visiting your garden?

Happy digging in the dirt …
