Description
"Grackle Colors" by Debbie Oppermann The Common Grackle is a very noisy blackbird with a purple head, yellow eyes and beautiful glossy iridescence visible in the right light. You might see them hunched over on the ground with wings spread to let ants crawl all over their body and feathers. This is called "anting" as the ants secrete formic acid and this may rid the bird of parasites. It is spring and the Maple tree is in bloom and the Grackle is singing its harsh song in Guelph Ontario Canada.
