Species in Focus: Common Grackle
2/2/202621 min
The Common Grackle is a blackbird with bright yellow eyes and a glossy-irridescent plumage.
Their vocalizations are a mix of croaks, creaks, squeaks, and whistles.
Common Grackles are typically found in most of Canada and the United States east of the Rocky Mountains, and are present year-round in the south-eastern half of that range.
For this Species in Focus episode I’ll be sharing a spring walk at Fifty Point Conservation Area in Grimsby, Ontario in March 2022 and at Valens Conservation Area in March 2023.
