Hi Tweets,

The Common Grackle that has been seen since March 9 on Birchfield Road one
mile south of Highway 24 east of Yakima is still there. It seems to have
settled in with a small, loose flock of Brewer's Blackbirds. It displays
and sings often and seems to be competing with the male Brewer's for the
females. The way it looks, we might get it on the Christmas Bird Count.
