Description
True colors.
Bird book lists "Bronzed Grackle" under the heading of Common Grackle and adds, "...occurs in most of New England and west of the Appalachians [mountains]; it has a bronze back, blue head, and purple tail.
The best time of the day here to get the true colors of a bird is mid-day. morning and late afternoon introduce many shadows. This was mid-day when the sun was directly overhead.
Please keep your comments coming. You all are making this series particularly interesting for me as I am still very much a novice in the details of the bird world.

Bill! it now seems you ARE the man for the birds! Regularly 30 comments.... Way to go AND this is a stunner as well. Colours are outstanding. Looks mean though. Great stuff. Love it! Rob.

That's very interesting about the light. Usually I'm not even looking for shots at that time of day. Gorgeous result!
