Unicorns of legend are often said to be only found in ancient and mysterious forests, so lovers of myth may be disappointed to find unicorns living in more mundane surroundings. But unicorns are quick to prove that the crackling call of grackles, the lacy shadows and honey scent of mesquite trees - dry grasses undulating with a distant breeze – they can be just as magical as ferny, clover-scented woods any day.

First grackles in the back garden. With those and the red-winged blackbirds and soon if not already the cowbirds we have the return of the icterids!
