   Not one of our most popular birds, the Common Grackles are moving through our area in large raucous flocks. they are considered an agricultural pest and subjected to control measures that have them in steep decline, and listed as threatened. These are large and aggressive birds that will clear out a feeder or a field if they come in a large flock. When they come through the woods in a large flock (hundreds), it can be quite the sight - and a cacophony of sound.
