Grackles utter a very noisy squawk (chawk) and can be very noisy in flocks.  Untidy nests are made of twigs and sometimes lined with mud. Five or 6 light brown eggs are laid with blotches and streaked with lines, dashes of brown and lavender. The period of incubation is two weeks and the young are off after about 19 days. Grackles live to be about 15 years old and they fly about 25 mph.
