Thanks-you can’t get away from Grackles in cities-even in the burbs where we lived they would congregate in the trees in the evening, squawking and chattering-and making a mess on any vehicle you left near a tree. You never see them out here, fortunately.
Since Grackles are Canadian birds, why are they even here-isn’t it too hot?

Grackles are tough migratory birds that range all the way down into Mexico. Heat does not seem to bother them at all. I often see thousands of them roosting at dusk in Houston. They are a plague. For those that don’t know, Grackles are very aggressive birds and unafraid of humans, much more so than crows. I consider them the “Amish” of the avian world.
