Casadity mexicanus March 6 Harlingen, Cameron Co., Texas. Overcast, calm. ♂ grackle flew to top of telephone pole calling a hoarse keek keek as he alighted. Bird repeated a display from that perch - he leaned forward slightly, ruffled body feathers and made a ruffling noise apparently by brushing wing tips together. At the close of this display he sometimes made a noise "kee e e" (a high pitched whistle). I saw a similar action directed toward another male (both birds on the ground) yesterday morning.
