Observation:
This Common Grackle was hanging around with the Red-winged Blackbirds down by the Muddy Branch. The accompanying photos show the grackle with its eyes open and closed - always a little eerie.
A Fact:
Grackles are the number one (bird) threat to corn; they eat both ripening corn and corn sprouts.
