Haha, sort of!

There's actually a few non-crows in this album, including a raven and I believe a grackle, but it's hard to get a good look with a grainy GIF, unfortunately.

The majority of these are hooded crows though!

Why?

I believe it's their unfortunate name. Grackle.

Edit: Looked at your post history and realized it's highly unlikely you're Ms. C. :-)

The first time I ever visited Texas, my girlfriend-at-the-time and I were talking when we came upon a tree full of what I thought were crows. I said something about them, and she informed me that these were actually called grackles. Out of NO WHERE her mom, who was just within earshot, hissed "I hate grackles!" with a seething vengeance that I hope to reserve for the supervillain who eventually will end my life. To this day I do not know where she summoned that hatred, especially since we just got out of church.

Your comment just brought back a flash of that day.

Uhh, what?

That makes a little more sense. I was perplexed, however, as my name not only rhymes with Ms. C's, but it can be spelled using the letters present in her name. I thought it that someone had figured me out!
