The Carib Grackle is a member of the Oriole family and is commonly known as simply a โ��Blackbirdโ��. It is also called the Lesser Antillean Grackle, while its Latin Name is Quiscalus lugubris. It is a glossy black bird with a long slender curved black bill. The iris of the eye is yellowish white and the tail is long and keel shaped (โ��Vโ�� shaped). Females are slightly larger and less glossy while juveniles are dull brown with dark brown eyes. The size of the adult is between 28-34 cm (11-13 in) and the weight is between 74-142 g (2.61-5.01 ounces). This grackle is found throughout the islands of the Lesser Antilles, Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas and Brazil. It is closely related to, but smaller than, the Greater Antillean Grackle (Quiscalus niger) that is found on the islands of the Greater Antilles. It is similar in appearance to the male Shiny Cowbird with the difference being the shape of the bill and the colour of the iris.

The Carib Grackle is common resident of all the countries in its range and is generally observed in groups. It is a noisy bold bird that spends a large amount of time strutting on the ground with its head held high. It is almost omnivorous eating fruits, insects, seeds, frogs, lizards, snails and discarded human food such as bread, beans, french fries and meat. The combination of its boldness and eating habits has resulted in this bird being very common around human habitation and is seen in household gardens, parks, open-air restaurants, shopping mall parking lots etc.

This frequency around humans sometimes results in problems for people. These birds nest in trees, thick shrubbery such as ixora and ledges of houses and their nesting period is from May to November with the heaviest nesting in June and July. The Carib Grackle is a very aggressive bird when nesting and will attack anything, including humans that it believes is too near the nest. Groups of Grackles will band together to attack and fearlessly swoop at the head. They will repeatedly attack until they drive the intruder away and with each successive swoop will get closer and closer to the head. In attacking they use their claws and beak. In some cases they have literally prevented individuals from using their gardens during the nesting period or forced homeowners to run anytime that they venture out of their house.

The solution to the problem is the removal of the nest. Whenever a homeowner sees large quantities of these Grackles gathering in the vicinity of their home during the nesting period, they should immediately begin looking for the location of the nest(s). It should be removed before the birds have an opportunity to lay their eggs. If the nest is removed the birds will move to another location to lay their eggs (hopefully away from the home), eliminating the problem for the homeowner. It may be necessary to remove the nest a second time as they may immediately return to the same spot to rebuild the nest. Be forewarned that any attempt at nest removal will cause these birds to attack even harder. The homeowner should therefore wear head protection such as a construction hard hat, safety goggles for the eyes and long sleeved shirts.

The mouth of the Maraval River is a good birding spot for a short birdwatching trip. The river flows through a short stretch of mangrove before arriving at the sea. As the river water encounters the ocean it loses its force and spreads out depositing soil to create mud flats. It is this mixture of mud and water that creates the habitat loved by some bird species.

The Mourning Dove is the most abundant and widely hunted bird in the United States.ย Morality is high among doves.ย Mourning Doves are hunted in thirty eight states.ย More Mourning Doves are killed each year-over twenty million- than any other animal in the country.ย Although, dove hunting serves no wildlife management purpose, many view the birds as nothing more than live targets.ย Doves are not over populated.ย Doves are not a viable human food source.ย During the hunting season, doves are actually at their lightest body weight for the entire year.ย Even if shot properly, doves have very little edible flesh on them.ย Research studies confirm nearly one in three birds are wounded and not retrieved during hunting season.ย Despite the hunters, the dove remains among the ten most abundant birds in the United States.

Mourning Doves are the traditional bird of peace and a beloved backyard songbird.ย They sing a song that sounds like coo oooo woo woo woo oooo.ย They delight millions of birdwatchers or those who lure the gentle birds to their backyard.

Mourning doves are light grey and brown and generally muted in color.ย Their tail has white outer edges.ย Male and female birds are similar in appearance with the males slightly larger and more colorful, with a blueish crown and pink chest.ย In flight, the birdโ��s wings make a fluttery whistling sound.ย The Doveโ��s are considered a medium size, slender bird with a small head and tapered tail.ย The feet and legs are light red to light purple, with three toes forward and one reversed.

The mourning doves are highly adaptable birds and are found in a wide variety of habitats.ย They are found in open woodlands and forest areas near fields and grass lands.ย They are abundant in agricultural and suburban areas where humans have created suitable habitats.

Mourning Doves eat almost exclusively seeds which make up 97% of their diet.ย Rarely, do they eat snails or insects.ย They often swallow grit such as sand or small gravel to assist with digestion.ย These birds generally eat enough to fill their crops and fly away to digest while resting.

During courtship the male bird leads the female to potential nest sites and the female will choose one.ย The male will gather materials for a bird nest and bring it to her.ย The male will then stand on the females back and give it to her so she can weave it into the nest.ย The nest is flimsy constructed, made of blades of grass, twigs and confer needles.ย Most nests are in trees, but they can be found in shrubs or on the ground.

The female, almost always, lays two eggs.ย The eggs are small and white.ย Sometimes she will lay her eggs in the nest of another pair of doves.ย Mourning Doves are devoted parents.ย They rarely leave the nest unattended.ย The male sits on the eggs from morning to afternoon, with the female taking over the rest of the day and night.ย

Incubation of the eggs takes approximately two weeks.ย In warm areas, these birds may raise up to six broods in a season.ย The mourning dove is monogamous and they form strong pair bonds.ย Pairs typically reconvene in the same area in the next breeding season.ย Sometimes they remain together for the entire winter.
