Come and Get It!

 
Here's a Common Grackle that stopped in, along with a couple dozen of his friend, to raid our feeders. 
 
I had just filled the feeders, as you can see in the picture, and not too long after the birds appeared.  It amazes me how they know.  Are they organized?  I'm thinking there's like one bird assigned to each yard with a feeder that somehow announces when fresh feed is put out?  Just not sure how it's announced - perhaps a birdie bulletin board, or a birdie version of the "twilight bark" (for you fans of the 101 Dalmatians movie)? Puzzling!
 
Regardless of how they do it they're more than welcome.
