Common Grackle

Quiscalus quiscula

Notes:

Grackle with nesting materials. I believe this is the female...but not sure...the 2nd of the pair was on another pole and I didn't see him until they flew away, but the other looked blacker and glossier...and wasn't carrying any nesting material.

Thanks again, Mary! "Noisy" is putting it mildly!! When these guys gather with the Red-Wing Blackbirds and the Starlings in huge flocks on our farms, it's deafening! But it's also invigorating!!

I think this could go in the Animal Architecture mission since this is clearly the architect at work! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8082...
