I usually get mostly American robins visiting my backyard, but yesterday I had a couple of different kinds. I'd very much appreciate ID's on these and any C/C. Thanks.

4) This particular one was pretty hard to shoot, as it liked to hide well inside the tree branches and leaves...

The top three are Common Grackles and the last one is a House Finch. Very nice catches too.

You might be interested in looking at this thread. This is a new side of the Grackle for me. :)

That's a great series you captured! I skipped a couple of the Grackle images that I shot that looked pretty evil so I didn't process them. But I think I will now after having looked at yours... ;)

It was quite the drama and I had no idea these birds were so nasty. :)
