Lots of birds down at the pond these days. The grackle is not everyone's favourite bird as they will eat everything out of your feeders ... but we have to take the good with the bad.
Nice capture. I used to have grackles around here quite often but didn't see so many last year and none at all, yet, this year. In my yard the squirrels are ten times worse at feeder raiding than the grackles ever were. The grackles do have an evil look though, with that long sharp looking beak and the intense yellow eyes.
