An adult Common Grackle drops a tidbit into a fledgling’s waiting and eager mouth.

As I photographed this Common Grackle it suddenly took off, almost escaping my field of view.

I did not expect to see a Common Grackle visit the suet feeder. It did a good job of balancing on it while dining.

Though the bird feeders’ perch is a little undersized for it, this male Common Grackle manages just fine.

The Common Grackle may appear to be stern, even angry. We might think, that the bright golden eye denotes thoughts, feelings, emotions, that aren’t actually there. This is simply the ‘suit he wears’.
Appearances can be deceiving.
