------=_Part_9820_30468101.1211752291387 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline This afternoon I watched a group of Common Grackles getting very agitated around a Crow that was circling around a particular tree on our property. In the past few days they have also been agitated at Liz and I when we walked near that tree, so I presume there is a nest in there, although I haven't been able to find it. After a few minutes, the crow dived into the tree and came out with what, by size and shape, appeared to be a fledgling Grackle in its beak, and flew off, hotly pursued and dive-bombed by 4 or 5 adult Grackles, calling loudly. About an hour later the whole procedure was repeated. New arrivals on our property today were E. Kingbird, Rose-breasted Grosbeak (not fully molted into alternate plumage, but singing loudly and beautifully),and a Baltimore Oriole - also singing beautifully.
