Abstract:

In the spring of 1969, blackbirds, cowbirds, and common grackles flew in from Canada and occupied Scotland Neck. The birds became a menace for the townspeople and drew tourists. Scotland Neck residents tried pouring water on the birds and making noise, but the birds stayed until one day in 1970 when they left of their own accord.
