Day 2 of the trip to #Canada and the wonderful #wildlife didn't stop. The colours of common birds like Tree Swallow and Common Grackle never stopped catching the eye; more #woodpecker action - this time Red-bellied; and we just could not resist revisiting the Prothonotary Warbler. What a place!

This common grackle was gathering nesting material when it heard a territorial call from another grackle. It puffed up and responded, while trying to hold onto the material it had already gathered.

The Grackles were out squawking their weird machine-language call. They scream with their whole bodies.
Why are they talked about so much less than Crows, Ravens or Blackbirds? Like I can think of mythology or folklore for the others but not Grackles. I didn't even learn their name until I was an adult.

This #CommonGrackle is not happy with me as I chased it away from the feeder and it has a little attitude. They are big, have big appetites, and they can monopolize your bird feeders. No wonder so many #birdwatchers think of them as big bullies.Not my favorite bird but they have gorgeous colors.

Common Grackle
Here's another grackle from the rest stop a few days ago.
"Those raggedy figures out in cornfields may be called scare-crows, but grackles are the #1 threat to corn. They eat ripening corn as well as corn sprouts, and their habit of foraging in big flocks means they have a multimillion dollar impact. Some people have tried to reduce their effects by spraying a foul-tasting chemical on corn sprouts or by culling grackles at their roosts." - allaboutbirds.org

Common Grackle
I originally thought this was a boat tailed grackle, having seen some about a month ago or so down near the coast. But this morning I used The Cornell Lab, Merlin Bird ID app on my phone to identify the bird. It's a common grackle. I found some of these birds at the same rest stop I wrote about yesterday.
"Common Grackles are blackbirds that look like they've been slightly stretched. They're taller and longer tailed than a typical blackbird, with a longer, more tapered bill and glossy-iridescent bodies. Grackles walk around lawns and fields on their long legs or gather in noisy groups high in trees, typically evergreens. They eat many crops (notably corn) and nearly anything else as well, including garbage. In flight their long tails trail behind them, sometimes folded down the middle into a shallow V shape." - allaboutbirds.org

I have a soft-spot for Common Grackles with their shimmery colors and expressive faces.

A Common Grackle (Quiscalus quiscula). These birds are favorites of mine. They’re a beautiful iridescent color, extremely smart and rather cheeky. They mimic car alarms, sirens, some phone ringtones, and I used to know one that would wolf-whistle at people entering and exiting the Walmart near its roost. #QuiscalusQuiscula #CommonGrackle #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography

And some nice back views. The Grackle is still hanging around, and I wonder if the MoDos are a bit miffed to have more competition from bigger guys this winter. Come good into Thursday!

They are beautiful, adorable creatures! So much so that I was (very) briefly infatuated with starting a website called GrackleFacts. The domain is still available...

#HappyThanksgiving! This year, I am thankful that I get to enjoy Grackles a lot longer. There are several individuals, and I wonder if they will actually spend the winter here. I hope you are surrounded by good people and have a good meal today. If you are shopping, consider my calendar, it is still on sale until tonight (link in bio).

While I don’t like freezing, I believe that nature needs the four seasons to properly thrive, so I am very happy about the frosty temperatures we are currently getting. Traffic has been ramping up and the heated baths are working. There is one lone Grackle left. I am sure it will make it even if it stays all winter but this is a first.
