The Fed grackle

We also saw this grackle at the Federal Reserve. Perhaps he doesn’t like sharing with the resident blue jay as he looks irritated to me. He was constantly on the move, and I never could catch him in sunshine, but those iridescent feathers sure were beautiful.

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

If I were routinely called a "grackle" I'd be irritated too. Cool photo.

Grackles always look grumpy to me. You've captured that look as well as his pretty colours.
