Hi, Tweets,

The Common Grackle reported yesterday in south Kent was on the wires near the silos just after 8 this morning with only a few starlings and Brewer's Blackbirds, so easy to pick out. A passing train flushed them all at about 8:06, and I didn't linger to see where they might land.

Then at M Street marsh, the Great Egret was right next to the road at 8:15, in the ditch, now flowing, just south of the usual walking track out to view the main pond (when water's lower). I watched it catch and eat several small fish before I left it working farther east of the road.
