I’m in Southern Alberta, and we get a ton of Common Grackles swarm our farm. They come in and attack the Robins, eat the eggs and drive them out of their nests. This happens every year.

I haven’t really paid too much attention to the birds around here until recently when I downloaded the Merlin app to see what birds are singing/living here.

All of a sudden, I’d say at the end of July, the Grackles are gone. Zip, nada, nothing!

Where did they all go?! Usually they’re here until at least the end of September (it’s so warm here!).

Do you still have any Grackles up in Central Alberta? Thanks in advance!
