  T.his is just a guess, of course, but I'll bet that one grackle does =
not make a movement (and the same thing for spring red-winged =
blackbirds), since every year there are scattered but rare overwintering =
grackles and redwings in most of the province.  Cheers from Jim in =

    Hi All,
       My first spring Common Grackle arrived yesterday (March 22nd) =
which is about 3 weeks early for this location. Still lots of snow on =
the ground but not as much as usual. All the best.
