Grackles Come to Decatur For “Active Living”

Decatur Metro | January 5, 2010

Margaret’s pics of grackles on the Recreation Center lawn were just too good not to give their own post.

Just beyond the left side of this image, I bet Dan Magee is running into the building, covered in grackles.

One more pic after the jump. Click the pics to enlarge and take in the full scope of the grack-attack.

    this reminds me of waco, texas, which has a longstanding problem with grackle hoards. We went there for a debate tournament at baylor in college, and it really is unbelievable. See http://www.baylor.edu/lariat/news.php?action=story&story=19179

    WOW, thanks for posting the pic. When someone had said they saw about a thousand of these, I just couldn’t imagine it. That’s pretty amazing. And scary!

    Makes me wonder if Hitchcock is lurking as a ghost somewhere in Decatur.
