    I remember when I was at Tybee Island, GA with some friends one year ---and we put out some birdseed for the birds on our back porch... WOW--I've never ever seen that many Grackles in one place... ha

    Hugs,
    Betsy

    Its a different bird in subdued light, love the sheen and glossy effect the sun gives it

    Such a beautiful depth of colour in this bird's feathers. Love the pose of the head...as if he is being humble.

    You captured his lovely colors -- something I definitely tend to overlook with Grackles.

    You captured the beautiful iridescence-- the blue of its head and the "bronze" back which most of our south Florida grackles lack.

    Pretty birds, I always see them at Target in the parking lot...I've decided they come for the popcorn that falls from kid's bags. LOL!

    I keep seeing the great-tailed variety everywhere. I'm slowly learning to appreciate them. Your photo is lovely.
