A Common Grackle in January!

I wonder where this bird has been? It has obviously survived the freezing cold and heavy snowfalls of December. Perhaps our present mild, above freezing temperatures we are presently enjoying has set it on the move. I noticed it in our feeder area today around mid-afternoon. It was quite a surprise to look out and see a Common Grackle feeding there. This is not a usual January sighting for us.
