Grackle

Species: Quiscalus quiscula

Location: Guelph, ON
Camera info/settings
- Canon 7D Mark II, Sigma 150-600
- ISO 10000 f6.3 1/2500

We don’t usually get these ones here but have been seeing several recently as well as Red-winged blackbirds. Sadly they are muscling out the smaller songbirds.

You might see a Common Grackle hunched over on the ground, wings spread, letting ants crawl over its body and feathers. This is called anting, and grackles are frequent practitioners among the many bird species that do it. The ants secrete formic acid, the chemical in their stings, and this may rid the bird of parasites. In addition to ants, grackles have been seen using walnut juice, lemons and limes, marigold blossoms, chokecherries, and mothballs in a similar fashion.

The Great Backyard Bird Count

Counting on and off one day this weekend and I counted 7 species, 65 birds coming and going from our backyard feeder.

7 Tree Sparrow, 14 Black-eyed Junco, 5 Mourning Dove, 4 Bluejay, 20 Starling, 7 Cardinal, 8 American Goldfinch

I did capture a few of these with the camera, Goldfinch, Cardinal, and a Tree Sparrow.

White Breasted Nuthatch - RBG

Species: Sitta carolinensis

The White-breasted Nuthatch is normally territorial throughout the year, with pairs staying together. The male has to spend more time looking out for predators when he’s alone than while he’s with his mate. That’s the pattern for most birds, and one reason why birds spend so much time in flocks. But the female nuthatch has to put up with the male pushing her aside from foraging sites, so she spends more time looking around (for him) when he’s around than when she is alone.

House Finch, Female, landing
Haemorhous mexicanus

Really enjoying the fast frame rate of the 7D Mark II…I expect there will be more in-flight shots for a while 😁

I’m just hoping for some brighter days so I can shoot at a higher aperture for a wider depth of field.
