The Grackle Coffee House



A latter-day 
landmark
in Schomberg

   ...in a class of its own

  and what of the Common Grackle...

COMMON GRACKLE
(Quiscalus quiscula)
The Common Grackle is so well suited to urban and suburban habitats that it successfully excludes other species from them.

A Grackle Limerick
From his perch up above came a cackle
The author, a pestilent grackle
No doubt celebrating
His job decorating
My car just below with his spackle.
