Grackles

(quiscalus found at wikimedia commons under creative commons law)


The Grackle is not a blackbird nor crow, he is a bird in his own species. He is a beautiful iridescent bird not exactly black but mixed as a black pearl from Bora-Bora with dark blues, purples, greys and blacks. There isn't another colored bird like this on on earth.

He is not a scavenger or that of a vulture or crow, he hunts for his own food not waiting for the dead and not carrying diseases as the crow. He hunts for minnows, frogs, small insects, grain, and seeds. They scatter all over the Southeastern United States and love to annoy farmers year round. They are pests, but not disease carriers
