Recordist's notes
The first of several recordings I'll make of Grackle colonies around Houston, Texas. Inspired by my good friend, Christine, who's been living far away from The South for a long while - and who appreciates these urban birds. R.I.P. Chloe, who recently turned 20 yrs of age and will leave us tomorrow after a long life of reaping and sowing joy.
