Great-tailed Grackle

Can you get a video of those displays? They sound marvelous.

Thanks, everyone! These mating displays are really fun to watch! The males (females are very different, light brown with shorter tails) puff themselves up, quiver their feathers, and run in straight lines, making wacky noises the whole time.

Fascinante gran concierto excelente
