Two days ago I had an event I have never experienced before; approx 15
- 20 common grackles descended on my property first thing in the morning
and spent the day around the tree by my house that I hang my bird
feeders on - very noisy in a most unmusical way!. By the end of the day,
however and rather to my surprise, I found that not too much bird food
had been eaten (at least some of the feeders are usually empty).
Yesterday was much quieter; only one grackle remained - but that grackle
lurked like a watchdog between all the feeders and for the entire day
chased all the many other birds away, only very occasionally making the
odd peck or two at the feeders himself. By sunset scarcely any seeds had
been eaten.
And now today I see that the pesky bird is back again....
Is this unusual? What is going on here?
