Great-Tailed Grackle

 Our pet Grackle has left us.  She was at our site for about a week.  Then her mother came back  looking for her.  What a joy it was to have her here every  day.  She even left her markings on top of our pick-up,  I am sure they are on the top motorhome.   She would come looking for us when we were setting out doors.

There are 6 species of grackles.  The male are a glossy black.  Females are often much duller,  brownish all most.

They feed in open country, but often go into town at night.  They live in groves, thickets. farms, town and even in city parks.  They may be common around streams or ponds.

They eat insects, such as spiders, millipedes,snails, eggs, and nestlings of other birds. Plus seeds waste grains berries fruits and nuts.

Hope you enjoy this posting as much as we did enjoy Miss Grackle.

I am pleased that her mother came back looking for Miss Grackle.  Kitfoxgal
