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!
