The <i>Bronzed Grackle</i> (<i>Quiscalus quiscula æneus</i>) differs from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Grackle" class="extiw" title="en:Common Grackle">purple grackle</a> chiefly in the more brownish bronze tint of its plumage and its lack of iridescent bars. Its range is more westerly, and in the southwest it is particularly common; but as a summer resident, it finds its way to New England in large numbers. The call-note is louder and more metallic than the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Grackle" class="extiw" title="en:Common Grackle">purple grackle's</a>. In nearly all respects the habits of these two birds are identical.
