Field Notes

Description:

Noisy birds, grackles gather in groups and peck for food on the ground and also eat at feeders, where they often displace smaller birds. They eat a variety of foods, including insects, minnows, frogs, eggs, berries, seeds, grain, suet and even small birds and mice.

Habitat:

My yard

Notes:

Unfortunately, the grackles are transporting ticks again.
