Fast Facts

I learned that the grackle is unique in that they dip whatever morsel they've found in water before they eat it.  I watch them do this all the time with the bread I throw them, but I figured they did it because it was too hard/stale, lol.

I tried to get a picture of a fledgeling doing this Saturday, using a rain puddle, but she was too skittish and I could not get close enough with only my iphone for a camera.  I'll keep trying though.

Until then, I found someone got movies of this and posted it on YouTube.

I'm jealous but 'til I can get my own movie of it, I'd rather you see it. Grackles in Houston have much longer tails than these.
