Graceham is anunincorporated community and acensus-designated place (CDP) inFrederick County,Maryland, United States.[2] Graceham is home toGraceham Moravian Church and Parsonage. Per the 2020 Census, the population was 243.[4] In 1973, Graceham began experiencing atypical waves of mass migration of millions ofstarlings,grackles and other birds which caused environmental damage and distress to residents.[5] The Maryland Forestry Department removed 30-40% of the local pine grove in an attempt to curb the "invasion" of birds, which reduced the migration the following year.[6] However, the solution was not permanent. In 1977, residents and expert witnesses testified before the Senate Economic Affairs Committee in support of legislation that would enable more effective interventions.[7]
