Nice shots, love the reeds they are standing on. The bird with the evil eye. I have them here in the yard everyday.

Thanks. They're not real common here. They're actually quite attractive when there are only a few of them instead of a big noisy flock.

Thanks for all the comments.

I got lucky with the light and the birds picked a perfect setting. This Sigma 50-500Os I'm trying out helped a little, too.

Great reeds....I mean Grackles. Not too many of them here so I actually enjoy their calls and courtship.
