It's not a great shot.

Okay, it's not even a good shot, but the bird caught me off guard. Suddenly it was there and
not liking me there even though I was across the yard. I knew the moment was fleeting
and got off five quick snaps before it took off again. This is the best of them.

In addition to being photography challenged, I'm also PP challenged.

The shot was HEAVILY cropped.

Great-tailed Grackle

I might agree that its tail is pretty good, but great? Not so sure.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

He's called Great Tailed in lieu of Big Balls (he catches snakes as long as he is!).
