Another early bird is the Common Grackle. They are hard to miss because they are quite loud.

Welcome to My Bird Watching Blog!
We got hooked on birdwatching and found there are a lot more birds in Chicago than pigeons, robins, mallards, Canadian Geese, gulls, and sparrows. I started taking pictures of them and ended up with far too many to post on my Chicago Daily Photo site. So I started this separate site just for the birds.
