Bird behavior

[aveschapinas]

I thought it would be fun to have a thread for reporting interesting bird behavior we observe.

This morning I watched a Great-Tailed Grackle catch and eat a small snake, maybe 4 or 5" long. He didn't try to wash it, which I have observed them to do as well. But it's the dry season now, and while I have a bird bath on my roof I don't think he'd want to use it with me sitting there eating my breakfast.
