Same here in my very urban back yard in Lauraville, Northeast Baltimore, yesterday--same species as seen by Jessica enjoying the big black walnut tree in the afternoon sun (exception:  no bluebirds, but some nice white-throated sparrows).

I just had my first flock of grackles (20 or so) fly over the house 
while cleaning and filling feeders in the backyard. As I was about to 
go inside, seven robins showed up briefly and then took off again. 
Bluebirds, house finches, and song sparrows have all been singing in 
the yard.
