Nice color, I have a tough time getting a decent shot of most black birds.

Thank you :-)

The grackle is probably one of my favorite birds, such characters they are. This is a super shot!

They are one of my favorites as well :-) Thank you!

Great shot. I had my first grackle in my yard this week. I love this.

Thank you Lauren :-)

Wow, this is a wonderful capture!! They really are quite beautiful.

Thank you very much!

Wonderful shot! Love the sharpness of the eye and seeing the seed on his tongue. Great color, too!

Thank you Kathy :-)
