This morning I saw one of those very common large black birds, I think it's called Great-tailed Grackle. Its large and has that very shiny, iridescent black plumage.
Seeing the bird was no biggy but seeing it carrying a little bird in it's claws, land on a power pole and start breakfast was unusual. At first I slowed down to stop and watch but then little downy feathers started falling towards me so I sped up to avoid them and watched upwind from the bird.
The funny part of all this is it was one power pole from where I saw the owls a month ago.
