uncommonly common ...

 
Common Grackles
large and in charge
at a glance they are black, until the light hits them the right way
and the color just pops.


 


I don't recall seeing so many of these in years before, but this year they are all the rage.

  1. My mother-in-law hated grackles and we used to laugh at her because she had a grackle dance to scare them away from her bird feeders. I don't have any resentment toward them. They are just trying to make a living like everyone else. And they do have some beautiful feathers on them. Your pics show them off to great advantage.

  3. It is so fun to find something special in an ordinary thing. I always think I am more observant when I have my camera around my neck.

  4. they may be all the rage, but they don't impress me at all...dirty, they poop in the birdbath and they hog the bird-feeder. But I gotta admit if I didn't have a pre-disposed opinion I might think yours was a beauty (might).

  5. Well, yours are beautiful - but I don't like them for hogging the birdfeeder. The ones around here never seem to "catch the light" as well as yours! Lovely photos - the first one is so soft and ethereal.

  6. A beautiful bird, Nicki - a new one to me... such a rich birdlife you have around you! You've created a piece of art composing the first Picture, and adding the tecture - lovely!
