Grackels in the Melon Patch




I saw a group of these little guys in the garden early last week. I thought they were cute: social, chatterly. I assumed they were eating bugs and worms, however, it seems like they were eating the tops of my melon seedlings. It looked like a cut worm on stilts had been in the melon bed. So, I replanted and covered the bed. Hopefully, they will grow back quickly now that the ground is warm.
