Common grackle checking out what appears to be a blue jay feather in the stream. Grackles seem to spend a lot of time in and at the edges of streams.

A flock of common grackles flew by my house.There were dozens; perhaps a hundred of them. A few minutes later they were gone. I know grackles can be pests, especially to farmers, but I love their iridescent feathers and their terrible yellow eyes. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #grackles #nature #HoosierMast
Glass artist Frye Glass has made a rendition of the Count, and it is absolutely marvelous!

I keep a bowl of dry kitty kibble out for any strays and one cute possum, and I've learned that certain birds like it too. Forgive the wonky pic, I had to take it through a window.
It's Puff Grack season! I love the #Grackles, and about a week after their arrival they have started to show off. Please enjoy the Grack Waltz! #birds #showoff #birdsofMastodon #birdwatching #nature #Ostdrossel #fyp #Fridaynight
Grackles at the feeder for first time this year. They seem to migrate thru over about 4 weeks. #birds #BirdMigration #grackles
The #Grackles are also still around, and some are still feeding babies, but molting has also begun, giving some of them the best and most dramatic looks. As if they couldn’t already do that with their plumage fully intact!

Another busy week has passed, and I was finally able to solve my computer issues and go through photos. There are still no hummingbirds, which is a mega bummer, but I am still keeping up hope. The baby birds are pretty much ruling the backyard, and it is tough to find good shots because they have that toddler energy

The #Grackles were the first ones to start bringing their babies. They look and sound adorable, and I will never get tired of their cute squawks. The one in the middle followed the parent to the feeder bowl, begging for food from the left bottom corner. My favorite pose of theirs is "downward Grack", showing off their elegance and beauty.
