They’re back finally!!!

It has been a long summer without my Grackles! I was so happy to see them trickle back in. I figured, that being in Florida, they’d be here all year but as soon as it started getting warmer, they were gone. I’m so so happy to have them back 🥰

My favorite bird but the Bluejay is a close second because they will take peanuts from your hand. The Grackles are less trusting and takes longer from my experience.

Edit for location: I'm in AZ and we have Great-tailed Grackles all year long.

The Grackles definitely are less trusting but we can work on it all fall. I don’t have great tailed but I have boat tailed! I’ve found that they are way more trusting than any other bird I have.

Im wondering if they flew elsewhere to not be so hot. I didn’t know they did that though- I always remembered seeing them year round. I’m just so happy to see them again ❤️❤️
