Prefix: Grackle-

A black or dark brown cat.

Description: common grackles are large blackbirds that may seem plain on a cloudy day, but they are truly beautiful when they step out into the sunlight. Male grackles have glossy blue-black heads and iridescent bronze bodies. Females, which are typically smaller and less shiny than males, can vary from deep blue to rich bronze all over. Both sexes have bright yellow eyes, tapered bills, long tails, and lanky bodies. They are present in southern Michigan year round and northern Michigan during the summer, and they occur in edge habitats, marshes, meadows, woodlands, and urban areas. Common grackles are opportunistic feeders with diets that include fruits, grain seeds, insects, rodents, fish, crustaceans, human garbage, and even other birds. Grackles are social birds that may gather in colonies of thousands, and they also frequently join mixed flocks with cowbirds, starlings, and other blackbirds.

Another Blackbird Feathursday

Just a bunch of blackbirds! These feathered fellows are Icterids from a 1930 painting by American nature artist Walter Alois Weber reproduced in Bird Portraits in Color by the American physician and ornithologist Thomas Sadler Roberts and published by the University of Minnesota Press in the 1934. They are from top to bottom:

Brewers Blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus), male and female Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus), fall plumage Rusty Blackbird, male, breeding adult Rusty Blackbird, female Bronzed Grackle (Quiscalus quiscula versicolor), a subspecies of the Common Grackle, male and female

While the range of the Brewers and Rusty blackbirds includes southeastern Wisconsin, we have not identified them in the Milwaukee area ourselves. The Grackle, on the other hand, is one of our most common birds, particularly in summer, but we’ve never noticed if any are of the Bronzed subspecies, which has a characteristic bronzy back.

The common grackle (Quiscalus quiscula) is a large icterid found in large numbers through much of North America. This bird is a permanent resident in much of its range. Northern birds migrate in flocks to the Southeastern United States.

Adult common grackles measure from 11 to 13 inches in length, span 14–18 inches across the wings, and weigh 74–142 g. The male, which averages 122 g, is larger than the female, at an average of 94 g. Adults have a long, dark bill, pale yellowish eyes, and a long tail; their feathers appear black with purple, green, or blue iridescence on the head, and primarily bronze sheen in the body plumage. Adult females, beyond being smaller, are usually less iridescent; their tails in particular are shorter, and unlike the males, do not keel (display a longitudinal ridge) in flight and are brown with no purple or blue gloss. Juveniles are brown with dark brown eyes.

The breeding habitat is open and semiopen areas across North America east of the Rocky Mountains. The nest is a well-concealed cup in dense trees (particularly pine) or shrubs, usually near water; sometimes, the common grackle nests in cavities or in man-made structures. It often nests in colonies, some being quite large.

The common grackle forages on the ground, in shallow water, or in shrubs; it may steal food from other birds. It is omnivorous, eating insects, minnows, frogs, eggs, berries, seeds, grain, and even small birds and mice. Grackles prefer to eat from the ground at bird feeders, making scattered seed an excellent choice of food for them. Grackles can be regularly seen foraging for insects, especially after a lawn trimming.

Along with some other species of grackles, the common grackle is known to practice "anting", rubbing insects on its feathers possibly to apply liquids such as formic acid secreted by the insects.

The range of this bird expanded west as forests were cleared. In some areas, it is now considered a pest by farmers because of its large numbers and fondness for grain. Unlike many birds, the grackle benefits from the expansion of human populations due to its resourceful and opportunistic nature. Common grackles are considered a serious threat to crops by some, and notoriously difficult to exterminate and usually require the use of hawks or similar large birds of prey. Despite a currently robust population, a recent study by the National Audubon Society indicated that populations had declined by 61% to a population of 73 million from historic highs of over 190 million birds.

Grackle Eating Homemade Suet from Log Feeder 2018

Common grackles are despised by so many people because they come in big flocks and eat a lot of seed but they are incredibly gorgeous birds.  The males look so metallic.  The purple head, the bronze body, and that intense yellow eye make this bird a favorite of mine.  They are just so gorgeous. This male came to my Topeka KS yard on Mar 13 2018 and took a liking to my homemade suet, which I serve in a homemade suet log.  My suet is made with animal fat, peanut butter, homemade cornmeal, quick oats, and white flour. Almost every kind of backyard bird loves it. Find Suet Recipe at http://bit.ly/HomemadeSuetRecipe
