Description
...still doing some pre-spring file cleaning. Found this fine figured North American 'Common Grackle' in a 2009 file.
...he can't sing a note. Grackles are not known for their songs, but for having loud scratchy voices and squawking cries.

Magnificent selective focus and color work, Bill. Grackle eyes creep me out.

Well, he'll never be much competiton for G4, but he does have a handsome physique - for a grackle.... Great capture of him, Bill!

Yes--lovely blue-black coloring--we have grackels here in Mexico also--altho they seem larger and louder and more interested in each other--thank goodness--nice shot there!

He may not be able to sing, but he sure is pretty :d

An excellent capture Bill and a must zoom of this iridescent beauty!! Key West is a great spot but some areas with very narrow strets. If you are going to RV down, and I think I remember that you tow a car, you might want to camp before Key West and drive down each day. If I can be of any help about south Florida, ask away. I can site mail you my E-mail address if you want it.

I do suppose it's fair to say, he can try until he's black and blue in the face, and still you won't hear much from him ;) a very striking figure, BB
