Halloween is looming just like this black vulture. I like the eerie look created by its visible nictitating membrane.

Cheers to glossy black feathers, caws, and croaks on this #InternationalCrowAndRavenDay! Same bird as my previous post showing why I stopped to take its picture - incessant calling.

The Grackles were out squawking their weird machine-language call. They scream with their whole bodies.

Why are they talked about so much less than Crows, Ravens or Blackbirds? Like I can think of mythology or folklore for the others but not Grackles. I didn't even learn their name until I was an adult.
