Day 4 of 2016: A Few More Commoners

I have added 4 new year birds since the last post. Firstly, I had a driveby flock of Common Grackles (#36) saturday evening. Birding in the park yesterday morning yielded 3 new birds which were heard only Northern Flickers (#37), an American Black Duck (#38) on Turtle Pond, and a pair of American Crows (#39) flying by, along with the usual suspects (a few grackles were seen too). Hopefully I can keep up the pace and have at least 45 species by the end of the month.
