Two Great Tailed Grackles or Mexican Grackles

The Great-Tailed Grackle or Mexican Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) is a highly social North and South American medium-sized songbird. The males are glossy black and iridescent and the females are brown and drab colored. Although the grackle is black, it is not a blackbird. It is sometimes mistaken for a crow but is not a member of that family either. Great-tailed grackles originally came from the tropical lowlands of Central and South America but over the past 140 years have spread into North America. Grackles forage in pastures, wetlands and mangroves for a wide variety of food. They eat larvae, insects, nestlings, worms, tadpoles, fish and eggs. They remove parasites from cattle and eat fruits and grains. Grackles are highly intelligent birds that can solve complex problems to get food. The male grackle has a distinctive noisy call. They communally roost in trees at night and during the breeding season they build a nest in the trees. This male grackle was photographed while perched in a bush at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

The Brewer's Blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus) is a medium-sized North American blackbird and named after the ornithologist Thomas Mayo Brewer. Adult males have black plumage with an iridescent head and glossy highlights on the rest of the body. The feet and legs are black and the eye is bright yellow. The female is a brownish-grey color. The female's eye is dark brown. Their breeding habitat is open and semi-open areas near water, across central and western North America. The Brewer’s Blackbird is often a permanent resident in the west. They are also very adaptable to humans and frequently come to bird feeders. This male blackbird was photographed near Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
