Quiscalusquisculafication-Rock is brought to you by your very favorite general…General Foods.
For anyone who remembers that series from Saturday morning cartoons in the ‘70s…
Today marks the first day that Common Grackles have found my place for fall migration. I don’t want to go out without an umbrella right now. Maybe 500 of them have found the feeder station. The suet cakes look like bizarre blocks of flapping wings. They also look to be raking the ground below for any Black Oilers the Wild Turkeys may have missed. Glad they’re only here for five minutes but…that’s all the time it takes for them to strip the place bare. As an aside this looks to be a mast-year for Red Oaks here if not Hickory. Folks in the Midwest are also noticing historically unprecedented butterfly abundance. I’d say the Moths are doing well too. Could increased Moth numbers be related to fewer Bats for the last few years? How’s by you?
