Lovely iridescent colors of blue and green on his head. 
Look at those feathers! As always this was taken through my sunroom window. I love the colors on the grackle. When they turn into the sunlight their feathers glisten and shine.
Ground feeders? Nah, not always!

Great shots! You are able to capture its glistening and shiny colors. Good job, Carletta!
Don't his colours blend beautifully with the feeder. Lovely shot!
Excellently captured this bird's irredesence. FAB.
Beautiful bird but a noisy one. My neighbors do not like them, but they are better than their dogs - not so much poop.
Great work.
Beautiful sheen on the feathers. Great photo.
A beautiful bird to share. Lovely images.
They are so lovely!
I do love the beautiful grackles!
I had forgotten about the grackle's head being blue. It looks pretty on the one whose picture you took.
Thank you.
..
they are stunning!!
Nice photos of the Grackle! Handsome birds - they are fun to watch. A rather large group (a plague is the collective noun) just arrived in our yard a couple of hours ago. They didn't cause much mischief but I suspect they're the culprits who made a large hole in the finch feeder!
Really colourful aren't they? Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
I always amazed by the iridescence of some birds' feathers. Your grackle is beautiful!
Sweet capture! You have caught the fire of this bird wonderfully!
I like the iridescence! I've noticed it, but never thought to photograph it, great idea.
Nice captures of a lovely backyard visitor. It's great to see it's beautiful iridescence as well.
Love the purple colors. Nice shot!
Oh so pretty! We have ground feeders here, too, that happily perch on my feeder and even the suet cages, but none of them are quite this lovely.
Fascinating, rich colour tones in the grackle! Lovely photos!
Now that is the kind of bird I would shoot....with a gun. :) We fought those things when I was a kid. We would plant our corn and when it started coming up the would get in the field and pull at the top to get the kernel.
What a beautiful color. Great shot!
Great captures,well done!
i love his expression in the top shot
so intent
What a shiny creature - nice captures!
They are beautiful...I have some that come to my feeders also...love looking at all the colors.
And if you ever get the chance, look at turkey featers...the short ones turn all kinds of colors, too. It is almost unbelievable. I have tried to photograph them but the photos never capture all the color.
wow, the feathers are beautiful! wonderful captures!
Grackles are such handsome birds! Always dressed for an evening out on the town :-)
This grackle surely goes in style:)
They are very pretty! I love the way the light plays off them.
Lovely light on those iridescent feathers.
Lovely iridescent colours indeed. Great captures.
