HEAR THE GRACKLE CACKLE—# of live grackles
In this series you will probably learn more about grackles that you never did, ever wanted to know, or could care less. All answers can be found on-line; googling “grackles” will help.
Do not bother to go to the posted coordinates as the final is not there. Rather, answer the questions correctly and then go to that site of the coordinates given by that answer to find the cache. The cache is along a paved road will have a safe pull out. An aid to see if you picked the correct answer to the question, google the coordinates on Google Earth and if it shows the site along a road, then likely you are correct.
Cell phone reception is not available along some sections of this road, so if you are relying on your cell phone solely, you may be out of luck. I checked for cell phone reception at each site and if no cell phone reception, I indicate such by “ncpr” in the description. I used two Garmin GPS in satellite mode to check the final placement.
Though a few other bird species may have “grackle” as part of their name, the questions are by-in-large directed to that group that all belong to the one genus all of which are called grackles.
The number of living species in the proper grackle group?
