Such beauty.

Exquisite 🥰

love this

I’ve seen crows do this too!

"Like to sing cheerily!" What a sweet song; I wish we had them in my area.

Delicious!

I've rescued many pigeons over the years but my favorite was one with the feathers pointed up on the back of her head. She was the only one that could go anywhere in the house and had no cage. I just built a corner shelf up high for her. Miss Tuftsy.😢

Thank you. 75-80 years ago, I used to hear them and killdeers often. Bob White quails too. Not now. There were Canada geese, ducks of several kinds, and rose breasted grosbeaks on Michigan’s Au Sable River last week! And a couple of loons too! Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

One of my favorite birds. When I was young, I would hear them all the time. Their habitat is gone now so I never hear their sweet song anymore. All houses, no meadows or fields.

That is impressive. That drop in pitch closes the song beautifully

I saw one eat a duckling in Disney World once.

I love ravens and don't think they are bad omens. I wish people wouldn't associate these awesome creatures that way

I will take the opportunity to give all glory to God for His wonderful creation. Man thinks he is so wise, but doesn’t realize how he cannot explain the simplest things of nature.

Beep beep !

I thought the robins were orioles,I see them daily in the park running,stop,listen and pluck worms,I imitatem often

Such pretty birds!!! Elegant is the perfect word

And for all these years I thought they were frog noises at night. Meep.

I'm in Tucson with water basins around my yard and frequently have Roadrunner(s) stopping by for a drink. Also have a Cooper's Hawk, many Desert Quail and scads of other bird species that are regular visitors.

Can't hear you

Live in Texas and they hang out in droves in grocery store parking lots looking for trash, the more industrial sight, the more of these birds. Overbred and taking over other birds nests.

I watched a Robbin when I was in the first grade. He took a few steps, turned his head to the ground, and then pulled up a big worm. I'm sixty-two and have never forgotten it!

My Mom raised a common Grackle that had fallen or was taken out of the nest and left on the road. They were even featured on “ BoomTown” critter corner ‘s Rex Trailers TV Show …sponsored by the MSPCA to help educate. They are wonderful creatures and I fondly remember our little Blackie when I see them …

Cute until they smear their s*** and mud on your house.

Are Grackles part of the Corvid family?

They watch the news and flock to RFK jr.

Among food you forgot ‘discarded cigarettes’. The Home Depot trash birds on Barbara Jordan are particularly fond of spent lung darts.

Interesting

Boisterous Florida Grackles are always fun to see when I visit N. Florida .

What a remarkable fella

Most people think they're just gray & charcoal, but never see the colorful underside.

Robin pulled worm from grass. Wow

Yup in Michigan after rain they would be in the road

I have one visiting my feeder daily. Milwaukee, Wisconsin

awesome, thanks for sharing

❤ATB🖖

A grackle was sizing up my snake today to make a move. Mind you my snake is a 5 ft boa. That bird was really thinking about it. 😅

What you call worm charming is a technique also referred to as worm fiddling or fiddling for worms. The rubbing a flat implement across a stake is rather like moving a bow across violin strings. I don’t know of any birds that fiddle for worms, though. I’ve seen birds pull worms from the ground, but I simply don’t know how the birds located the worms.

I love these little birds 💙💜💚

When you find the perfect channel 😍

I love it. You saying we have no idea how they do it. I can get down with that.

I was at our local wetlands (Tucson, AZ) this morning and I believe this is what I heard. I thought it was frogs but it was not like any I’d ever heard. I’ve seen a bittern at this location before. Cool! Thank you for this!

For years now I've been questioning if these the pair I see every year are in fact ospreys. I have many photos wish I could share.

Common grackles have been nesting in the dense top of my arborvitae for many years. I witnessed a squabble for nesting rites early this Spring. Though the nest is fully concealed, I know the eggs have hatched when I see adults removing white fecal sacs from the nest. There should be fledglings in a couple of weeks.

If they don't get up early - none of this matters.....

Thanks. I appreciate the knowledge that you share with us. These are birds that I am unfamiliar with. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

Super cool! Have not seen them myself but they occasionally show up here in Chicago on migration. They're super beautiful. I know prey size differential is one theory for reverse sexual dimorphism in raptors, especially those like peregrines who focus on other birds almost exclusively. This with the beaks sort of sounds vaguely similar, enabling the different sexes to focus a bit more on different prey types. Fascinating!

I’ve watched robins do it. It’s uncanny how they are able to snatch worms that are not visible. I noticed that it’s easier for them after heavy rains. I guess the worms come closer to the surface.

I had heard about this display but had never seen it. Thanks for showing it to us.
