Common Grackle in Perry, Box Elder County

["Betsy Beneke" <BirderBetsy at msn dot com>]

After watching a sharp-shinned hawk chase house sparrows around the 
outside gardening supplies section of the Perry Walmart, I turned to 
walk to my vehicle and a common grackle was patrolling (walking) across 
the parking lot about 20 feet from me.

Is this the year for grackle invasion?  Great-tailed on the refuge, 
common in the city?  Are grackles moving in to our area, like the crows 
have done?
