I've personally watched and documented populations of Bronze Grackles plummet, during summer bird counts, early November morning Hawk Counts in New Haven/East Haven, and Christmas Counts, for several decades.  They rarely visit my feeders, but I'm sure I would be grateful to buy additional seed for these amazing native Icterids.
