Quite the fray this morning, two #venezuelantroupials guarded the palm trees against the #grackles
After a scuffle, 12 #dove #feathers floated down.
Color photo of a large-ish black bird with yellow eyes and open beak perched on a wire rack.
In my car at HEB (a TX supermarket chain) waiting for curbside pickup and in the row of empty racks were several of these great-tailed #grackles - (AKA by me PLBs, Parking Lot Birds) serenading me with their unique raucous cacophony.

Scores of Common Grackles crowd a snow-covered deck during snowfall - more in the left background tree wait their turn. Snowy evergreen trees and yard in the background.

Common Grackle taking a splash bath in our South Florida neighborhood lake.
Splish splash, he was takin' a bath.

This was my first time seeing a grackle fly by with a crawfish!

Like living music
notes upon the evening
sky - the blackbirds leave
to wherever it is they
go to dream their nightly dreams

Hi Colleen.
Wow! This is a wonderful transformation from wallflower to glittering puffed-up Superbird! Great video! I love grackles! 😍

Tried some new ways of editing to help bring out the colors on this great-tailed grackle.

Grackle perched on a cattail. Grackles have purple/blue iridescent heads, yellow eyes and green/cinnamon iridescent back and tail feathers.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Iridescent. Here's a Grackle demonstrating the beauty of iridescent feathers. #Birds #Grackles #WetlandBirds

A willet walks across a sandy shore still wet from the receding Atlantic.
Boat-tailed grackles foraging together—glossy black bodies, striking yellow eyes, moving purposefully across the ground.
Per Alan (@alan678.bsky.social), today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #walking, birds walking.
This #willet and boat-tailed (?) #grackles are my contribution.

Recent winter photo of five black Grackles on the deck railing reminiscent of the five suspects in the lineup scene in the movie, The Usual Suspects.

This morning, Grackles feed on a snow-covered railing during active snowfall, with one bird in flight behind them and another looking forward.
when rain turns to snow
and all the birds are hungry
get ready for a crowd

Today, dozens of grackles line a seed and snow-covered deck railing and ground during active snowfall, with evergreen trees and bare branches in the background. More Grackles wait in the nearby trees.
When the breakfast bar goes viral.
(35+ grackles, snow edition)

Happy Friday. To take us to the weekend we have a great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus).

Boat-tailed Grackle alongside a neighborhood lake in South Florida.
I rarely get a nice pic of a Boat-Tailed Grackle but recently was watching Killdeer foraging on the bank of the lake when this BTG landed right in front of me. ❤️

A northern mockingbird in a tray type bird-feeder with a peanut in its mouth. The tray is full of shelled peanuts, peanuts in shell, millet etc.
Two boat-tailed grackles (a male and a female) on the ground. The male with black plumage has a nut secured in his beak while the female with bronze plumage scans the area to her left.
Per Alan, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FoodFinds any bird with food in it’s mouth and the alternative is #preening any bird preening.
I've selected a northern #mockingbird and boat-tailed #grackles from my collection for the main theme.
