April 2011: Common Grackle (Quiscalus quiscula) Common Grackles are black from a distance but the closer you get the more colorful they are. Even on cloudy days like this one, their glossy-iridescent plumage will catch the light. They are omnivorous blackbirds often gathering in raucous groups in trees or strutting about on lawns and agricultural areas. © Copyright Phillip Augusta. All rights reserved. |
