#grackles — Public Fediverse posts

My neighbour didn’t like that my bird camera was attracting Grackles until she had a pair nest in her tree and run all the squirrels out of her yard. She has a massive garden and the squirrels are a nuisance. She sees the benefits now. #Birds #BirdCam #Grackles #NatureRules

Recent arrivals: Grackles and Redwing Blackbirds. The grackles are in groups of 30 or more individuals. The blackbirds, so far, are mostly males, and I only see a few at a time.

Common Grackles (Quiscalus quiscula)

In my car at HEB (a large TX supermarket chain) waiting for curbside groceries pickup and in the row of empty, wheeled racks in front of me were several of these great-tailed #grackles - (AKA by me PLBs, Parking Lot Birds) serenading me with their unique raucous cacophony.

A big, noisy flock of grackles was settling into the parking lot at MacArthur Park for the night when we visited the Half Price Books

Don't be surprised if a grackle gives you a funny look. 🤨
• They have a certain kind of eyerony. 😏

I can't believe that grackle gave me the stink eye on the Little Etobicoke Creek Trail. Mississauga, Ontario.

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

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.

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

I've never seen a flock of #Grackles like this. They covered part of our yard and two of our neighbor's yards, and trees in a hungry seething mass! #birdwatching #grackle #flocking #flyingsouthforthewinter #TrumbullCT

Home Invasion

I had to clean out and reset my #MartinHouse last spring because the #Grackles had taken over. It was odd because they didn't really make nests, just a few bits of detritus each time. It was more like they were just claiming the real estate so the #PurpleMartins couldn't use it! I finally got the bad birds to leave by spraying the house with a hose. The Martins moved in almost immediately. Love 'em! 💕

Had the most amazing moment this morning. I heard some animals on the roof over our bedroom and I popped outside to go check. I was met with the biggest flock of #birds I've ever seen in my entire life. A mix of #grackles and #redwingblackbirds flew directly overhead. I tried to get a few photos, but my phone can only do so much 😅 #nature #birding #birder #home #troutvilleva #themagicofnature

The #Grackles are also still around, and some are still feeding babies, but molting has also begun, giving some of them the best and most dramatic looks. As if they couldn’t already do that with their plumage fully intact!⁠

Abandoned #Nests from Under My House in #Iowa

Robin on the right I think.

Not sure about the left.

Also had to chase away aggressive #Grackles that were harassing #PurpleMartins attempting to occupy my martin house.

Removed Grack pseudo-nests twice, then hit the entire bird house with a hose and finally got the Martins in!

#Babybird season has officially begun. Very early today, the #Grackles brought their first youngster to the pond to explore the water while they were looking for snacks. Sorry for the water stain on the lens but you get a bonus Oriole singing in the back.

I love sunsets, and my dirty old windows face West, so typically I share sunset pics.

Well, last night we got a lot of rain and thunderstorms, and when I opened my curtains this morning the view was quite awesome.

In the first pic you can see grackles, whom I call “wannabe crows” ✨🌞⚡️🌦️
