Female Grackle with Mean Stare

She was watching for her chance to pounce upon bread that people were feeding to the ducks. She wanted to get her fair share of the food.
Thank you for your views, comments and fav's on my other photos.
Check out my Extras page of the photo bomb by a male Grackle.

That Canon Rebel has got a lot going for it! Also the one using it!

[Tricia O'Donnell]

beautifull reflections! Wonderful capture.

Would not want to get between that bird and it's nest. You certainly captured intensity there.

I LOVE that pose and the composition is so so lovely! Female grackles generally are not known for their beauty but she is beautiful!! Fav.

@kerristephens @ladyjane @wannabe @girlie @myautofocuslife Thank you for your comments. Both male and female Grackles have a hard stare to them, as if they do not want to miss a thing.

@triciaodonnell Thank you!
@lwain She was one determined bird!
@tobi @pamfromcalgary Thank you!
@cimes1 Thank you for your comments and the fav!
@happypat Thank you, Pat! They are sort of tall and slim. Much bigger than sparrows, but smaller than crows.
@photos222 Thank you! I believe there are a few different types of Grackle.

@midumas @cmuir1963 Thank you!
@ellen Thank you! I had a hard time making up my mind which photo to post of her. I have one with one leg off the ground. I might post it in the Extras album at some future date.

Now that is definitely an "if looks could kill" shot. Great job.

[Harry J Benson]
