About Often overlooked by bird photographers due to their sheer numbers, these common Grackles look great when caught in just the right light.

Very funny Kes :)
This backwards head pose seems a pretty common positions for these guys. Maybe he needs an excorsist?
BTW We don't have Stellar Jays in this neck of the woods. Mostly Blue Jays.

Hi Andre!

Stellar shot...oh wait, this is a grackle, not a jay....

Grackin' good shot, Andre! I've never seen one with its head on upside down. From a bad eggs, I suppose.

Your wildlife pictures are excellent. I really enjoy pictures of animals, but my equipment isn't well-suited to that type of photography. If I lived in an area with more wildlife, I'd invest. This is a great site and I've just been busy doing other things and so haven't cultivated new friends. Probably that has happened to a lot of us who were here so much more frequently a few years ago. But there are likely new groups who know one another. It is nice to return now and then to post and say hello to my friends. Sometimes I'll make a comment or two on new posts. If I do post, I'll check in on you again. Take care my friend.

Hi Stranger!

Good to hear from you! It's funny how old names seem to drift in and out every now and then from this site.

I'm still hanging in here, with a post once in a while, however no where near as active as I used to be on this site. It really has seemed to have gone downhill a bit for some reason. It seems my friends box is mostly full of inactive people. Oh well, life goes on. Mostly these days, I've been concentrating on a lot of local Wildlife with a few other bits and pieces thrown in when I get tired of the animals. :)

Thanks for dropping by. Maybe you will find time to post again sometime soon?

Wow, lovely bird and the colors are gorgeous -- nice "capture." I haven't been around much, and am only here for a minute, but I did check in on friend images and saw this. Nice to see you are still here and doing great.

Thank you again,
I love this one too!
A common bird, but an attractive pose with very nice light.
When rare birds are not around, I think it still pays to keep the skills up on every day common birds. That way, it increases my chances of getting a decent image when a rare opportunity presents itself.

another image, yet as good as the two previous ones.
and that sparkle of gold-like colour is priceless, and the gesture of a matador!~

fascinating metering here,

Thanks Srna.
It's amazing how the light brings out the flourescent colour in these birds feathers. Sometimes they can look plain boring all black. Other times they are like rainbows.

The light direction was really good for this one. I could tell it was going to be nice in the viewfinder.
