I have about 200 Common Grackles spending the night in my backyard trees.

That's really cool - and a little creepy too!  Grackles can be so beautiful when you really look closely, and I've always liked the creaky door sound they make, but their eyes can be a little intense. I remember seeing a huge flock of Grackles one morning last summer at Sandbanks. They were all sitting quietly in some trees and then they all hopped on to the beach for a morning bath. It was quite a sight to see a few hundred Grackles splashing on the shoreline!

Following up with creepy....I've always thought Spielberg got his inspiration for those little dinosaurs in Jurassic park from flocks of blue jays...
