Graham the grackle

These guys don't seem to get much press. Sure their call/song is blood curdling and they do seem oafy, but their colors are out of this world.

Here he is... on a saunter...

I love these guys too, but they do seem to have a dark side.

You did very, very good with the black and irridescent blues, something I still have trouble with.

Thanks Mitch!

Ooo... that is dark - definitely not a jedi the one you captured! Yikes! I didn't know that about grackles, but I've always been dumbfounded by the colors - particularly in good light these birds just sparkle! I find the blues particularly captivating.
