flameysaur: halfwayinlight: Does anyone know what kind of bird…
Does anyone know what kind of bird this is? It was strutting by the drive through like it owned the place. Is it a blackbird? Raven? Crow? Rook?? The deep blue looked so striking against the black feathers.
lies, I’m sure you know.
It would help to know where the OP took the photo, but seeing a reference to “tornado country” in a previous post, I’m going to assume we’re talking middle America/Great Plains/Texas and parts north of there.
Pretty sure that’s a male grackle, either a Common Grackle (which would be about 12.5 inches in overall length) or a Great-tailed Grackle (about 18 inches). The color looks a little better for Great-tailed to me, but if the OP knows even roughly how big it was that’s probably the best way to distinguish between them.
