A crow (unless it is a baby) would cover much more of the base. I don't know if there is any grackle related folk-lore, but I'm guessing it's not an omen of good things to come.

A friend of mine (Cubs fan) has been trying to convince me all summer that Sox fans were becoming as annoying and spoiled as Yankee fans. I fought him all summer, but now everyone is proving him right. Back to the same old chorus. Woe is me. The poor life of a Sox fan. It seems as if 1 world series and 3 superbowls were never really enjoyed by New England fans. I hope none of you hurt yourselves jumping off the bandwagon.
