Observation details
Very large blackbird flock just after I arrived. Came in from the north, some landing in the trees at NE corner of upland grassland area, then the entire flock taking flight and splitting as it crossed the grassland area, with some birds going SW to the trees of the marsh, and most birds landing in the ag land on the south side of the drive. Mainly just Grackles and Red-winged Blackbirds. Another smaller flock of @ 500 birds landed in the trees closer to Pine Creek, upstream of the Kankakee River confluence, after the larger flock had left. They too flew to the NE corner of the grassland then proceeded towards the marsh.
