[cobirds] hoards of Brewer's Blackbirds, Jeffco

I am feeding hoards (have counted 60+ in one flock in my tree) of Brewer’s Blackbirds as well as White-crowned Sparrows, Mourning Doves, Pink-sided Juncos, etc.  I discovered that the blackbirds love dried mealworms and millet!  They aren’t too fond of black oil sunflower.  Was trying to entice some robins and a Say’s Phoebe who were feeding in the street, but so far I haven’t seen them eating my handouts.  Tough spring for the birds.

 

BTW, some of we Tues Birders had a pair of Great-tailed Grackles at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield yesterday.
