They are 'characters' to be sure.
you captured their "character" :)
Yeha..seems so...can be considered in a movie may be!!
Appreciate the compliment, Adarsha. As annoying as these birds can be on feeders aimed at attracting 'cuter' song birds, they are striking and quite entertaining.
Great captures!
Great timing
Lovely series :)
Thanks, asergio and Ava.
That is a wonderful picture, Auntnance. I loved it. Congratulations.
Beautiful spotting!
Great shots!
That's a curious behavior! Thanks for sharing it :)
Bahaha!!! They look like they're singing together. Great series. =)
Wonderful!! I've never seen them display like this! That's too funny!! Makes a great series!
Thanks, Folks. In the first photo the birds were absolutely quiet and still. I almost wanted to get out of the car and look up to see what was of such interest.
I simply called such gathering of any type bird simply as Scool of them... =0
Great series! I love the 1st one the most as well.
Great photos, particularly the first one.
A Grackle gaggle? :) Nice series!/
I enjoy seeing the grackles display this behavior - it is either courting display to keep other males away or defensive to warn off predators - seems they were doing some displaying here!
