"Blackbirds on a Wire" found-object sculpture

I remember the big swarms of blackbirds that would migrate across the delta in the spring.  There were big iridescent black grackles and red-wing blackbirds and huge flocks of smaller black birds.  The grackles would sing something like "boh-bob-a-lee."  That's about the best I can transliterate the song.
