Feeling very tired and disappointed. Why? Well it's not because this Common Grackle is doing free and natural pest control for me—the way nature intended! Broad-based pesticides should be banned. We are all part of nature, not greater than it, like some (greedy and/or ignorant) think. The healthier the ecosystem, the healthier us.

To answer the "why" in the first part ... Kidney Stone: 1 Surgeon: 0

I agree entirely. I also hope the Kidney Stone Series swings in your favor soon.

I hope can feel better soon. Nice catch for both of you. I stopped have my lawn sprayed a few years ago and I don’t mind the dandelions. V

Super shot of the natural pest controller, as it should be. I agree wholeheartedly with your comments about pesticides, a scourge as far as I'm concerned, and about being a part of nature. I hope you get some relief soon, it must be awful. V

Oh dear, do get better soon. Good to see the grackle doing its thing. I absolutely endorse your comments about pesticides.

Oh no! I simply cannot believe that, but I do like your shot of the colorful grackle.
