Re: It's raining grackles




We happen to live just near the RTP, and the grackles are visiting our 
yards, too. My question is, are they eating insects or seeds?  I would 
suspect seeds, unless the insect populations are already increasing. What 
a boon it would be to have the grackles sweep through and clean up pests. Of 
course, they may eat "good" insects, too!
  
It is a beautiful sight to see them in a flock of thousands, looking like 
a black shape-shifting cloud. My three-year old son said, "Wow, that's 
amazing!!"
