A Gloomy Day. Let's Go Birding!


Common Grackles
Two days ago I put up two bird feeders - a self-made one and a open nesting box. It didn't take long before the first guests arrived. The weather was grey and gloomy as I sat behind the living room window with no ideal light to capture the birds. 
They were about 15 - 30 feet (5 -10m) away; always on the move and fighting for the seeds.

My patience paid off. Suddenly there was a drove of birds around....

and on the ground ....
