I am curious as to where the Knox County grackles go in the winter. All
spring and summer I had upwards of a dozen at the feeders all the time and
now only see one lone grackle occasionally. I know from the Christmas bird
count that they are rare or not to be found in Knox County in the winter.
This past Saturday I saw hundreds of them just a few miles away in Anderson
County (at Gallaher Bend Greenway trail at Clark Center Park). They were
very excited, and along with a goodly number of crows, flew back and forth
filling the air with their screeching and cawing. I never did figure out
what the excitement was all about as the posted signs commanded me to stay
on the road.
They are apparently not absent from all of Tennessee in the winter as I have
seen postings from farther west about them.
Just curious.
