Working hard on BIRD BRAIN
and feeling good about making progress.
The cool thing about this project
is that most anytime I look out the window,
I see my inspiration.
These Grackles visited me almost a year ago
but they still make me smile.

I might have to take a break and belly up to the feeder for a snack (or two).

They look like they’re about to start a conversation with you! I saw lots of magpies while I was in Ireland which was neat because we don’t have them here.
Glad to here you’re making good progress!

Welcome back, Carolyn! Glad you saw magpies in Ireland since they’re one of the most beautiful birds, ever. I see lots when I’m out running the trails but not so much in the neighborhood lately.

a question from one Bird Brain to another
Can your grackles tell the time? M used to be able to set his clock by a blue jay who would come for breakfast at exactly 8:00 am every day at a house he lived in in the 60s.

Re: a question from one Bird Brain to another
I don’t think these grackles would make good watches. They’re very sporadic in their visits. But that’s cool about the jay coming at 8:00 every morning. Hope he brought muffins or something!
