Bedraggled

I think this was a different grackle from the one in the previous picture. Looks like he had a bath, but I can’t imagine where.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Waiting for a showdown, posted earlier:

It can use a hair dryer. V

Getting cooled down from the heat is a great idea. Nice sharp shot. V

Love this shot, Helen! I'd guess fresh from a bath or else he just pulled an all-nighter! :-)

Wow! That's really drenched!

He has a great "Punk" look!

Certainly not looking his best where ever he has been Helen.

A well captured image Helen. Perhaps he found a birdbath close-by. I get crows at mine sometime.

May an automatic sprinkler? Nicely captured detail of this poor bird. V

A little bedraggled looking. Nice with this depth of field. V

I think it may be a grackle too - one that definitely looks disheveled. ~V~

He does look awfully wet. Perhaps someone in the vicinity has a bird bath? Very neat shot! V
