Grackle attack!

birds_0003

This is just part of the huge flock of grackles that descended upon our neighborhood yesterday morning.

We first noticed them swooping down over our house and past the upstairs office window by the hundreds to land in the yard and peck away at the ground. Then they would rise in a cloud of flapping wings and alight in the neighbors’ yard.

It was a rather Hitchcockian experience.
