We have had the odd Grackle stay the winter here in our yard. They visit the
feeder and hang out at the seed cake mostly. I know they can make it through
some long periods of heavy cold temperatures to warmer times and the return
of others but then what happens I do not know. I saw a solitary one checking
out the grapevine the other day but not since.

Subject: [NatureNS] Question re: One Lone Grackle
Hello All,
Over the past week or so, there has been one lone Grackle that appears to be
staying in the neighbourhood and is not with any flock. I haven't seen any
flocks of Grackles here in Dartmouth for a week or so, anyway. Perhaps it is
because it has, now, no flock to migrate with or it could be old? It appears
healthy. It seems to spend of its days sitting in the neighbours
eaves-trough on the edge of their roof, when not at the feeders. Do the
stragglers eventually 'hit the road/air' & go south, on their own, or, end
up taking their chances by over-wintering?
Thanks,
Gayle MacLean
