    <p><font size="+1">Yesterday during our Easter snow we had quite the

        blackbird party going on here.  A large flock of Red Wings, with

        a couple of random grackles, were visiting our feeders

        mid-morning, front and back yards.  There was the noisy trilling

        call of the Red Wings and a lot of carrying on; and if something

        disturbed them they took off with a communal 'whump' of wings. 

        I saw a post on another site that someone else had taken a

        picture in their yard, it might have been in the Twin Cities

        somewhere, and they had a similar conclave but their flock was

        heavy on the the grackles and starlings, but only a couple of

        Red Wings.  We had a smaller visiting group again in the

        afternoon.  Cindy in North Mankato</font><br>
