Grackle Blue

This is my first Grackle pic so I'll think of it when I see this shade of blue. Grackles can be destructive, noisy and aggressive but they sure are pretty in the sun.

Many thanks for dropping by. Hope all you fellow Canadians are having a great long weekend. Air conditioning weather here yesterday and today!

Gorgeous and a fav. We usually get at least a dozen of these in our backyard and it sounds like they are having a big party, :)

Outstanding shot, Anne. I agree, Grackles are noisy and pesky but the male's iridescent colors are so beautiful. (the female is a dull brownish color and not so pretty). Big fav.!
