Greater Antillean Grackle
Quiscalus niger
The adult Greater Antillean Grackle is a common Caribbean blackbird of towns, farms, beaches, mangroves, and open woodland. It is an opportunistic omnivore, taking insects, fruit, seeds, small animals, and discarded food with confident ground-foraging and perch-hopping behavior. Adults fly readily between feeding sites and may dive or scold at intruders near nesting areas. Males are glossy black with a strong tail display, while females are generally smaller and browner.
