We've had easily 100+ Grackles the last few mornings with a dozen or so Red-wings in the mix.  I can hear Golden-crowned Kinglets in the pines right outside our kitchen window as I key this.  3 White-crowned Sparrows were here last week.  We've got a couple White-throats here this week.  We had a Hummingbird on Thanksgiving Sunday.  Lastly, yesterday morning this beast flew over our backyard while I was cleaning up the yard.

Wow! That sight was quite a reward for cleaning up the yard!
