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.
