Hungry grackle

It was much easier to photograph birds at my neighbor’s feeder in early spring; now there's just a tiny window through the leaves to see anything at all. This bird was so big, at first I thought it was a crow, but then I realized it was just a common grackle.

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

A determined looking bird without much of a sense of humor. Great sharp focus here.

A fine sharp image, and I love the iridescence of his plumage.

Snacking on the suet to give you a chance for a photo. He does have lovely iridescent colours.

He might be common, but he's a sleek handsome beauty.

Nice portrait of a hungry one they do love the suet and at this stage of the season they are feeding their young ones with some suet.
Excellent 300 photograph nice and sharp.
