Common Grackles

[cldavis at xmission dot com]

We've had common grackles nesting in our Taylorsville neighborhood for the 
last two years and every fall they are joined by their raucous friends in 
my back yard.  Last year they feasted mainly on apples; this year it's the 
black-oil sunflower seeds that suit their fancy.  
My friend said in the morning it sounds like a junkyard full of metal 
pieces scraping together in the wind.  I'm sure my non-birding neighbors 
are thrilled. I love it--they are beautiful birds.
