Wow! Really hard to capture with the bright background!

Thanks Rod, I took this during a snow storm, to the left is a tree ...makes it almost look like clouds. I must admit I had a few throw aways as the snow falling directly in front if the grackle was a little issue so I had to time it just right as not to blotch the grackle. Those grackles have keen eyesight and as I took this photo..he spotted me lol.
