The Grackle FAmily

Mama dove still on nest. You can see baby head fuzz under her right wing
Into the back garden. I heard the voice before seeing the source. Oh my goodness,  grackle family. This was a first for me, the whole family. Baby being fed worms. Suddenly papa pounced down from planter wall and mated with mama. she was in submissive position. I was so surprised that I just kept banging off pictures. (Pun intended)
Papa was so pleased with his accomplishment that he did gorgeous victory display.
Feeding resumed first on ground then up in the suet feeder tree.
By my feet papa robin was gathering a meal for his kids.
Everyone wants food in the garden. Worms, seeds, berries available.
