I saw the COMMON GRACKLE today at about 10:30 am, in the usual spot on
Birchfield Rd in Yakima. It was displaying and singing its lovely grackle
song. I can't believe I went all that way to see a grackle, but there are
compensations; it's almost worth going to Yakima just to get pan dulce at
Ruben's Tortilleria and Panaderia. Que bueno!
