Nice shot, Belinda! I have not seen one yet either although their fellow travelers the grackles have been here for a little while so it shouldn’t be long.
Excellent capture, Belinda. I heard my first one in February, way early, but given the warm winter, not so surprising. I think the storms of March halted their northern advancement, but surely, they must be on their way!

Occasionally they stop by our backyard a bit later in spring.

Thank you, Eliza. We see them a bit later here and with the recent weather I haven’t had a proper look yet 😏
