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 female grackle was photographed at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

Striking large black-and-white wader with a thin, straight bill and bright pink legs, found in wetlands with open shallow water throughout much of Africa and Eurasia, often in brackish habitats. Some populations are migratory, departing northerly breeding grounds for warmer southern regions. Often forms noisy colonies on bare ground near water. Essentially unmistakable throughout much of its range, but compare with Pied Stilt in parts of Southeast Asia. Feeds by wading in water, picking from the water surface with its needle-like bill. In flight, long pink legs stick out far beyond the tail. Calls loudly and stridently, especially when alarmed during the breeding season.
