Beeeea-utiful! Lots of big, shiny, noisy grackles are back here in Canada too.
(My late father-in-law hated them -- as many other bird-feeding people do. I simply cannot fathom that attitude.)
I know people hate them. They are certainly hated here, but I agree with you. I love them to pieces, and they give me constant joy. They make me laugh more than any other dinosaurs, with their endearing clumsiness, and I’m listening to the croak and puff and whistle right now, and it just makes me smile.
Missed that blue!
They look menacing, intimidating, but beautiful at the same time.
Charly, they are also very awkward, clumsy birds, which is endearing, and easily intimidated by sparrows! And prior to whistling, they puff themselves up, so they look like feathered beach balls!
Love that iridescent blue/purple coloring.
Jim, I have long considered Grackles to be the very model of a Steampunk bird.
In the second picture, the grackle manages to look like a fish. Also the iridescent colours are nicely shown.
I consider them some of the most beautiful birds I’ve ever seen
Wow, that’s a stylish head scarf.
Grackles are the best!
