South Florida has two Grackle species, The Boat-tailed grackle, and Common Grackle (subspecies "purple" - Quiscalus quiscula stonei). Here you see courtship behaviors from the Common Grackle (purple). The female being the duller colored bird, the males tilt their bills up in competition while the female shows some interest in one of them.
