Icterides: Noise Markers featuring Blackbirds, Meadowlarks, Orioles, Cowbirds and Grackles

I struggled with this episode.  It took a lot of time and effort to get it to come together. I wasn't going to work on it until later in the fall but did anyway. Its still not perfect but nothing in life is so I'm sending it out there anyway. I hope you find it helpful, and please forgive any mistakes, mishaps, and oopsies.

Today we talk about Western Meadowlark (2:11) Bullocks Oriole (7:30) Brown Headed Cowbird (10:30) Brewers Blackbird (14:05) and Great-Tailed Grackle (16:40). There is also a comparison of all the birds in this family including Red-Wing and Yellow-Headed blackbirds starting at (19:15).
