posturing !!
The grackles, along with the starlings, have taken over the bird feeders in my garden ! Aside from being boisterous, they have been monopolizing the feeders and gobbling the seed. I am changing seed now from a combination of sunflower and peanut chips which they---and most of the other birds that visit love !----to safflower seed which is less appealing. I hope to discourage them and expect that they will leave and fly away to greener pastures for the balance of the season..... Once they do, I will go back to the original seed mixture....
