This is probably my favorite bird next to the Blue Jay. I don't get to see too much variety, so they're pretty exciting to me.

No, Stellar's are bule, Flo. Just kidding. These are Common Grackles instead of Brewer's Blackbirds, Ace. Looks like you're gonna need a new favorite bird ;)
Great job on these.


Regards,
Chuck

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Great shots Ace, I was going to say that the Brewer's are pure black.

Thanks, guys! ...and thanks for the ID help! That also helps me solve the ID riddle of the pure black birds that I've seen around, too. Either way, I really like these birds...cool colors, peircing eyes, just enough attitude, and graceful when they fly.
