Title: Blackbirds return - Bathurst/Sheppard area
Post by: Leslie Kinrys on March 02, 2012, 04:50:18 PM

This morning, there was a Red-winged Blackbird in our yard. In the afternoon, I saw a Common Grackle fly over our neighbourhood. Can Spring be far behind?

Wonderful! as much as folks don't like the Blackbirds, I love them, a sure sign of spring! Good sighting!

I saw & heard 2 on a walk through Sam late this afternoon.  They were probably wishing they'd waited another week or two!
