Common Grackle (Quiscalus quiscula)
Caldwell Woods - Chicago, IL - May 8th, 2024
Here's a treat for all y'all birders out there. I love common grackles I think they are so pretty. I admittedly am not much of a birder nor do I really have a camera lens that is good for birding (although I hope to change the latter part eventually). These birds are Omnivores and a group of them is called a Plague.
