Okay... now it's a grackle? Is there one bird out there other than a turkey that I can identify correctly these days?

They should come with little signs...

Jeez-that one I knew, but mine I mislable all the time. I'm about down to a generic "bird"...that much might be correct. (might).:o

Wow, thanks, Gary. After seeing some of yours that made my jaw drop, that's quite a compliment.
Appreciate it, man.
