Common Grackle
Why do golfers wear two pairs of pants?
In case they get a hole in one!
Interesting Fact: Grackles have a hard keel on the inside of the upper mandible that they use for sawing open acorns. Typically they score the outside of the narrow end, then bite the acorn open. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Common_Grackle/lifehistory )

I love your posts Lukas! They are witty and beautifully illustrated, and easy to read for those who don’t want to read a whole book in a blog? (Not that I mind when people write them, but I can read more blog posts when they are shorter)
