What Kind of Bird Is This?

[okrattler]

I've always called them cow birds. I don't know if that's the real name of them or not though.

Looks like a grackle. Or something like that.

Yeah, likely a grackle.

Grew up calling them blackbirds, there's several different varieties plus cowbirds. Usually there's a whole herd of them hanging around the cows or chicken pen or about anywhere else livestock is scattering something to eat.

Man I just had to Google what in the heck is a cowbird.

Download the Merlin bird Id. It’s free and really accurate for finding what bird.

Grackle eye, grackle beak, grackle color. All adds up to immature RWBB....must be.

We’re all just guessing at this point. The pic is not very good, and the description of his call could be interpreted various ways. But you’re probably right.

Hate those Parking Lot Grackles. I was attacked by a Parking Lot Grackle once. I was walking in a parking lot, near a tree, when, SUDDENLY!, I felt what I was sure was some 250 lb serial rapist-slash-sex-trafficker grab me by the back of the head. Nearly threw me to the ground...I’m serious!

Made a point to buy something in the store I could use as a weapon to get safely back to my car. Now I own a 24” stainless steel mezaluna pasta strainer which cost me fifty bucks. I don’t eat pasta.

It sounded like a Brown Headed cowbird but looked more like a shiny. Couldn’t find if the Shiny makes the same noise as the brown.

It was 100% not a cowbird.


I was today years old that I learned a cow bird wasn’t a white bird that stands on a cows back.

That would be a cattle egret.
