Answer 1

If it's a medium-sized, rather ugly mottled black/brown bird that congregates in the evenings to form a roost community then it may be grackles. They have no song, just a rather raucous squawking call and when they gather by the hundreds in the trees nearby, they are a nuisance of the first order. Much worse than pidgeons. We have them in Texas and I believe that at different times of the year they plague most of the US.
