We just had our first common grackle of the spring on our feeder. This was right after a male Cardinal in a rush of testosterone flew smack into another Cardinal on the feeder. The other Cardinal is solid wood and painted bright red. He did not move from the spot where he sits day and night, summer and winter. He is one awesome dude.
