Bird Grackle No Tail - Photograph

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

I took that photograph through my house window a few days ago, so it is opaque looking, and not the best quality. I've seen this Grackle flying around recently. It doesn't have a tail, which I'm now assuming is due to molting. The missing tail feathers don't seem to impact its ability to fly and walk around. If anyone knows more information about this, please leave a comment.

    I'm not familiar with this type of bird so can't think why his tail would be missing. I wonder if a cat grabbed it and he manged to escape, you never know! Hugs, Angela xXx

    I didn't even know what a grackle was until several landed in my back yard last week. Sorry, I'm no help at all, but it's certainly an oddity.
