Grackles


Nature is a hard category, because there are so many good choices. This is not the most beautiful photo I have, but I have been wanting to share it with someone. These grackle children are big enough to fend for themselves, but they harassed the parent, expecting her to put the seeds into their mouths. I saw her still feeding them on the ground. Up here, she was stoicly ignoring them.

  1. Is this feeder outside your kitchen window?

  2. We don't see many grackles around here. I saw a few fluttering around at Sandi's last summer. Must be they're a Sackets bird!

  3. The feeder is out the kitchen window, but off the patio.
