The photograph directly above this entry features a Common grackle perching on a branch in the Hallett Nature Sanctuary in Central Park.
The next picture features this bird type atop a grassy area near the lake that is located there.

This bird type has been a frequent visitor to my rooftop garden — especially in the winter — as evidenced in the following pictures.

And this creature along with his/her comrades are known to frequent the Ailanthus Trees that are in the adjacent courtyard of my building.

Common grackles are featured in a section of volume three of my book series Words In Our Beak, and referenced in the other volumes (purchase info is below the ending of this post).

| MY BOOK SERIES |
In any event, while I'm on the subject of grackles, I'd like to conclude my musings with an amusing short poem about them that is by Odgen Nash:
The grackle's voice is less than mellow,
His heart is black, his eye is yellow,
He bullies more attractive birds
With hoodlum deeds and vulgar words,
And should a human interfere,
Attacks that human in the rear.
I cannot help but deem the grackle
An ornithological debacle.
