Two adult common grackles on smooth concrete. The bird on the left stands upright and faces the camera, its toes splayed on the pavement and its other leg partly hidden behind the second bird. Its head and breast are glossy blue, violet, and green over a bronze-brown body. The second bird, in front, crosses the frame in profile, facing right, with a darker green-black head, a pale yellow eye, and a long tail trailing to the left. A thin crack runs across the concrete, and blurred dry grass blades rise in the foreground.

this seems perfectly reasonable to me, and then i go and look at the replies and it’s a thousand grackles mad that AI use is allowed at all, its mandatory disclosure somehow still too “supportive”

The tabletop (aka physical games), books, comics and soundtracks categories on itchio now require completing an AI disclosure in order to edit or create your page. These join the game assets section which has required disclosure for the past 2 years.

John's Life Springs:
All Hallows' Eve rolled in with orange streamers in evening, followed by eerie sky over pond. Morning again thin layers of pastel edged clouds, cool, light breeze. Flights of robins/grackles fill woods w/sound. 35ºF headed to 54. Ya'll be careful out there!

No shore near me, but I have grackles. Trade you several hundred for one shore bird.

Our grackles have decided that we are far enough south that migration is for lovers.

I was not aware of grackles until we moved to Texas. They are something else.

Nuts to feed my squirrels. Since I lost my sweet Ruby in June, they’ve kept my mind off of her somewhat.

I started feeding one. Now I feed 6-8 squirrels, 6 jays, 2 bunnies, 8 doves, and 6 Boat tailed Grackles.

I think my husband is beginning to notice my purchases. lol.

The Alt theme is #MealTime, any bird eating food.

Two common grackles looking up, a third one eating food while a juvenile starling looks on.

Blackbird flocks are often mixed, combining true blackbirds with similar-looking species like common grackles. Blackbirds regularly travel & migrate in groups. Flying in dense, swirling groups creates "predator confusion,"making it hard for hawks or falcons to single out one bird. #Bird #Photography

I am still gobsmacked at these beautiful words about my own words that were shortlisted in Riddle Fence’s poetry contest. To be so aesthetically seen is an honour. To have that seeing articulated by literary icon Karen Solie is a mind-blowing gift. I so deeply enjoy & respect her work.
Poetry contest citation by Karen Solie for Sarah Wolfson’s poem “Calling All Grackles.”

grackles tend to migrate, but, unlike shorebirds, they don’t tend to holiday in the lower mainland along the way.

Oh yes, the way I wrote that made it sound unique to Grackles. I did not realize that extra fact about human though!
