No love lost

Grackles are handsome birds, but I find them a tad annoying. They can empty all the bird feeders in a matter of hours. I will be glad when they move on to greener pastures, so the smaller birds get their share of the food.

Lovely looking bird!

[Ruby]

He is beautiful though, and a lovely close up capture too!

[Carole Imes]

I agree with you but I love their irridescent colors. What a beautiful capture of this male!

[Roxy]

that is such a perfect shot of their attitude! LOL

[Thom Mitchell]

They *are* annoying, but this is a very striking image!

[Kerri]

Beautiful

[Milanie]

You're right, of course, but you sure did show their pretty color.

[Faye Turner]

Nice capture! I must admit that I do not care for the grackles either!

[Kay Hodges]

Beautiful capture and I agree about them emptying the feeders quickly. The Red-Winged Black Birds do the same thing!

[Rick Schies]

Yeah, just like crows, very greedy things, but they must eat too

[Jo Ann Bellone]

But they can also be every entertaining.

Awesome capture! His/her eyes are amazing! I was thinking the same thing about 'common/annoying' birds today, watching the crows... But the are fascinating... and they have just as much right as any creature to be here...

[Denise]

Perfection Carolyn. You captured the attitude and expression perfectly.

[Francoise]

but what a purple

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great capture!

[❀ Lynn]

Super shot...love the colours and expression!

Gorgeous sheen on his feathers.
