Description This is a portrait of my grackle in black silhouette with a yellow background. A standout among birds, almost comedic in poise and walks with a strut that extrudes a sense of confidence. The silhouette just about matches it color in real life. Noisy, with a long drawn out screech and chirps, are signs that a zoo, park or grocer is nearby.In some areas, populations are so dense, an umbrella could come in quite handy.
