Some Common Grackles came to feed on some peanuts. So I took the opportunity to create a short video of them feeding.
This photograph and video was taken on 3 June 2017 in eastern Nebraska.

The Common Grackles like to feast on peanuts. For the most part they are tolerant of other Common Grackles on the feeder at the same time.

Video 🎥
This is my first foray into posting a video on YouTube that I can link to from SteemIt. My YouTube channel is "Steem On". And I must admit that I have a lot to learn about making a video.
In previous posts I had mentioned peanuts falling to the ground from the peanut bird feeder. As you will see in this video the culprits who drop the peanuts are the Common Grackles.
Are they doing it deliberately or are they just messy eaters? You decide.

I very much hope that this video link worked!
