Where Are The Gackles?
For those of you who do not know, a gackle is a large black bird about the size of a crow/raven.
They are normally rather abundant in North Dakota. I have noticed that this summer and last,
the gackles could not be found in my back yard or the lot where I work. I put out 2 phony parrots on my deck. Maybe this scared them away.
But I have noticed that there are just not as many of them as there used to be. Is this an omen of a serious environmental problem? You birdwatchers out there let me know what you think.
