Spring must be near, the grackles are back.



Pretty bird with it's iridescent plumage but it is a real nuisance at bird feeders.
When grackles are in a group, they are referred to as a "plague".

Rarely, Common Grackles nest in places other than their usual treetops, including birdhouses, old woodpecker holes, barns, and in still-occupied nests of Osprey and Great Blue Heron.
