Feeder bird ID?

Question

What is this? Please and thank you.

Naturalist's Response

This is a Common Grackle. It is a type of blackbird, and this one appears to be female because it lacks the iridescent coloring of the male.

Grackles are often seen at feeders and in lawns. They also notably form large flocks that you can see traveling together in the fall and winter.

For more information, I always recommend the All About Birds website for bird facts and identification.
