The colors are highlighted in this photo by the sun, which this Common Grackle was facing as I took the photo.

What beautiful iridescent colours Gregg on a bird I'd never heard of before.

I've seen a Hansel and now a Grakle,Eggz. Actually I have seen the Grakle before but never in this light. Beautiful. You had to be excited when you got this perfect snap. I like the driftwood look to your studio as well. 10/10.

Super Colors on this Grackling Good Shot Gregg.
Wish the light would have extended onto it's Wing to make those colors really POP.
Thanks for sharing.

Wow, they are totally annoying, yet totally beautiful. From afar they look only black. What wonderful colors they really possess. Beautiful shot, Gregg.

It may be common but it is beautiful and the the barkless tree the grackle is standing upon makes for a good composition.

Super cool. I just found this on the front page. I get a dozen of these guys in my backyard daily, but havn't been able to catch a shot worthy of uploading. Nice work.

I am so glad I had the chance to see this bird for real in Canada last week... when I saw it, your shot was the first that came to my mind. :)
