Grackle the Thief

 


I stopped at the shopping center last week to pick something up and on my way back to my car I saw this grackle steal a dog biscuit from a bowl in front of one of the shops and fly it over the the fountain.  I grabbed my iPhone and started taking photos.















He kept turning it over in the water as though he was trying to soften it up a bit.  Besides being scavengers, grackles appear to be pretty smart too.

    A clever and stunning bird. Very crow/raven like.
    The ravens that visit my garden do the same with some of the food they find.

    This grackle is definitely not a bird brain. ~(‾▿‾)~

    I think that isn't the first time that he has done that! Good to catch it, Sharon.
