A Grackle has Breakfast

124_2421.jpgWe have put out the birdbath. In our case, we have the top to a ceramic birdbath we purchased many years ago. I just set it on the ground and fill it with water. I find it as an entertainment center. I like to watch the bird activity around it.

This morning I saw a Grackle walk across the yard with a piece of bread in his beak. He hopped up on the edge of the birdbath and then dipped the bread into the water. He did this several times.

Once the bread was softened to his liking, he flew away - presumably to devour it.
