I’ll tell you what it it is— it’s a crime with the culprit caught on camera!

It's Puff Grack season! I love the Grackles, and about a week after their arrival they have started to show off. Please enjoy the Grack Waltz! (Unmute for max fun!)

12 years ago today I took this picture on a short walk from my house with a really cheap camera, and for the first time it occurred to me that you don’t have to go to some exotic place or have an expensive SLR camera with lots of lenses in order to take beautiful pictures. Just show up somewhere while the world is being beautiful and do the best you can. And that’s what I’ve been doing ever since.

Very impressed with this clever grackle snatching a minnow right out of the creek. Watching birds hunt always makes me feel like an early cretaceous naturalist observing a Utahraptor outsmart its prey.

Caught mid-grackle!

It's finally warming up and the massive flocks of grackles are returning to my home state of CT.

Many don't know, but they're an introduced species that flourished in the states, and now unfortunately outcompetes many native species.

^ this is wrong and I apologize. The Great Tailed Grackle is the introduced and invasive one. This image is a common Grackle! Thanks to the commenter for the catch :)

They're still cute when they call though 🥰 I took this picture at the Forest Park Zoo in Springfield. Check it out it's a great little zoo!

I would be thrilled to fucking bits if you drew a chicken happily holding a parasol

male and female great-tailed grackles! (Quiscalus mexicanus) the most reliable place to find them here is the parking lot and surrounding area of a specific cracker barrel

i always see people talking about crows and ravans but what of this silly guy, the great-tailed grackle. he traipses into our yard with his squawks and robotic-sounding squeaks and floofs up his vaguely iridescent plumaeg and then

for whatever reasons they enjoy emitting a squawk and looking up this is very important.

Another one for the Grackheads.

They were the highlight on this gloomy day.
