Our resident Grackles regularly kill House Finches and occasionally House
Sparrows this time of year and I presume they are feeding their
nestlings/fledglings.   I once saw a Grackle repeatedly attack and then
carry off a fledgling Starling.  I wouldn't have thought a Grackle could
take off with that much weight.
