     his loud call

    For some reason I like grackles, though they are loud mouthed and rather obnoxious in some ways.

    Enjoyed these very much - we just had some grackles visit our feeders this week. Always liked their name - as a small child my son called them crackles.
    Lovely photos, too. Thanks, Don.

    Grackles are a favorite of mine, too, Charles. They seem to just stand there ground ... something to be said for that. And then there is the sound ...
