Nice set those red winged black birds can be mean little guys they chase off great blue herons and all types of hawks and eagles and owls

At least they seem to get a long with the small birds. The grackles and starlings always chase away the small birds from my feeder. I have to be careful what feed and feeder to use otherwise they will swarm around chasing every other bird away and go through my feed like it was nothing.

They may not have the best reputation, but I love the iridescence and bight yellow eyes of those grackles!

The starlings as well. I am waiting to catch one in the right light.
