I watched the grackle with its catch hop along the shore for quite some time. I don’t know if it had a nest nearby because it didn’t fly off or stop to eat. I know the warm weather is here to stay when I start seeing these intelligent and attractive birds.

I think it’s some kind of crustacean. I love to watch them at work.

Excellent photos, Belinda! Grackles are very common here in the desert too, they frequently make their very loud calls from palm trees!
