We had one of those big flocks of grackles passing through the area
today. They spent a half-hour or so turning over the leaves at our
house. This seems later than usual, but I don't have any data to back
that up.

Grackles flocks seem to migrate through in many very well spaced waves over a long period
of time. I had several days of moving large flocks passing through in July here in E
Dalhousie, Kings, then another group in late Aug and nothing since. But a person a few Kms
away had a huge flock move through two weeks ago.

We usually see a couple of those big flocks here to feast on the beech
mast. Not much of that this year (blame the weevil?), and no grackles to
speak of. The part of their visit that I miss the most is the
susurration of their taking off in great numbers (I can do without
their constant vocalization [squawking?], though).
