While killjng time waiting for Walgreens to fill an Rx we drove around Fairmount Memorial Cemetery. Saw some robins, juncos and a bunch of starlings. Also saw a grackle in the starling mashup. Then a couple grackles in with a group of Robins. First grackles of the season. Rev. Beth A. McGuire (she/her) When day comes we step out of the shade, aflame and unafraid The new dawn blooms as we free it For there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it If only we're brave enough to be it — from The Hill We Climb by Amanda Gorman, Youth Poet Laureate at Presidential Innauguration, 1-20-21 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
