Field Notes

Description:

The common grackle juveniles can insist that their parents still feed them for quite a long time. The adult in the second photo was being pursued by a couple juveniles who could easily have plucked some dried meal worms from the feeder but they wanted the parent to deposit those snacks in their open mouths!

Habitat:

My yard
