[TN-Bird] Invasion

For most of the day, flock after flock of starlings and grackles have been
pouring off the Cumberland River at Cleece's Ferry/Bell's Bend and dispersing
every which-a-way from Charlotte Park after de-berrying many of the
neighborhood
hackberry trees and sucking up everything edible for them from the yards.
Flocks have been in numbers from 50 to 500 birds, and I would guess that I SAW
at least 3000 birds this morning from time to time when I was where I could see
the back yard. Just imagine how many may have gone by that I DIDN'T see!
Folks, they're heeeeereee! I didn't see or hear nary a rusty or a red-wing
among the flocks. Hope this weather is bringing in some "good" stuff along
with
those star/gracks. I have had a flock of 20 cedar waxwings in the
neighborhood for a week or so.
