Stunning and splendid photos of the shy and clever forager! In my first glance I thought it to be Indian blackbird ( we call it ‘xalika’) but then came to know about its real identity. I actually compared them to the Indian blackbird and found that they are quite larger and have a longer tail. Although Common grackle is nowhere to be found here in my place but my place is full of the Indian blackbird. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and informative post.

I just looked up the Indian blackbird. It is quite beautiful but, as you say, the grackle is larger. Plus the grackle has black feet. I know very little about birds and am enjoying this little exploration.
Thank you for your kind words and for that introduction to the Indian blackbird.
