I know grackles are a most common bird. That just means more cool photos of them.

      Dang, you might not. These grackles are in the Icteridae family, new world blackbirds. Here’s another cool one, the red-winged blackbird.

      Obviously you’re not in the new world, but you do have a common blackbird, which is in the thrush (Turdidae) family. We have a bird that’s kind of a misnomer to your robin, the American robin, a thrush, 🤣
