Description

Original Fine Art Photography and digital artwork by Donna Kennedy-
Grackle catching a minnow, photographed in Reno, Nevada

Common grackles are large birds widely distributed across much of North America. Adults have a long, dark bill, pale yellowish eyes, and a long tail; their feathers appear black with purple, green, or blue iridescence on the head.
Grackles have a distinct and sharp song. Like most birds, its call varies between seasons. But what you may not have been aware of is grackles can mimic the sounds made by other birds. They've even been known to mimic human noises.
Grackles are quite the efficient foragers, and will even steal food from less savvy birds. They are omnivores and will eat anything from bugs to minnows to different types of berries and seeds. Of course, these birds aren't snobby at all and will snatch human food at a moment's notice.
