Highlights early this morning at the backyard feeding area in the  
village section Norwich, VT, have included a Common Grackle (first of  
the year here), 2 Carolina Wrens (at least one of them singing), and 2  
White-throated Sparrows. The latter two species have wintered in this  
vicinity, but the grackle is presumably a newly arrived spring migrant  
from the south.
