I took this photo of a Grackle in my Dogwood tree through my open dinning room window...

This is no Grackle.
It is a Starling a bird no one wants.

Maybe no one wants it around but God made it so there must be a purpose for it...

I agree God made it, but God didn't put it in the USA.
Man put it here, and it kills more birds a year than cats.
Bluebirds was almost wipe out by the starling. Peoples
starting building bird box with a small hole that starling couldn't
get in. That the only thing that save the Bluebird.

It's a great shot of a most annoying bird! They come in waves around here during migration season.

Don't blame God for foolish and destructive activities by us. God gave us a lot of things, but left it for us to choose how we use those things that He gave us, no? The introduction of the Starling to North America, for ornamental egotistic purposes (as pets in a cage) as well as for selfish profit motivation (we could get rich from this new idea for selling animals as pets) has resulted in massive destruction of many other creatures that God also gave us.
