Common grackle checking out what appears to be a blue jay feather in the stream. Grackles seem to spend a lot of time in and at the edges of streams.

Two male #grackles doing a 'sky pointing' display in their natural habitat: A Lowes parking lot.

(Grackles roost by the hundreds/thousands in parking lots around here, if you've never heard one, they sound like the rustiest hinge you've ever encounter)

A flock of common grackles flew by my house.There were dozens; perhaps a hundred of them. A few minutes later they were gone. I know grackles can be pests, especially to farmers, but I love their iridescent feathers and their terrible yellow eyes. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #grackles #nature #HoosierMast

This Grackle is blowing in the wind.

Glass artist Frye Glass has made a rendition of the Count, and it is absolutely marvelous!

I don't know much about birds, but I've noticed over the years that there are always a few days in summer where the #grackles show up and work all the lawns. Black birds with a bluish-black head.

A flock of anywhere from five to fifteen will show up, leap-frogging each other, harvesting some sort of bug I guess, then move on to another lawn a few seconds later.

Heard a commotion from the back yard. This seems to be the first grackle day of the year. Happy grackle day.

I keep a bowl of dry kitty kibble out for any strays and one cute possum, and I've learned that certain birds like it too. Forgive the wonky pic, I had to take it through a window.

#Grackles! Looking both ways.

It's Puff Grack season! I love the #Grackles, and about a week after their arrival they have started to show off. Please enjoy the Grack Waltz! #birds #showoff #birdsofMastodon #birdwatching #nature #Ostdrossel #fyp #Fridaynight

Grackles at the feeder for first time this year. They seem to migrate thru over about 4 weeks. #birds #BirdMigration #grackles
