It being this is a celebration of grackles maybe folks would like to see different grackles I shot photos of from different countries, or no?

Clip Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Common Grackle-I bird I see frequently but photograph rarely. This one is from Colorado but I see them often in Florida too. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clip Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Great-tailed Grackle-saw this species in Colorado mostly in the spring like this one who was singing his lungs out. A common bird in Colorado but not nearly as common as the Common Grackle there. I see rare bird alerts for these in Florida once in awhile but only one was confirmed that I know of but was hours away from where I live. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clip Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 So many good photos of Boat-tailed Grackles. Super common here in Florida. I chose this photo not because it is my best but because it is a favorite. Note the white eyes on this Atlantic Boat-tailed Grackle a subspecies of the Boat-tailed Grackle that has brown eyes. Both are common in Florida. This white eyed version is probably why I see unconfirmed Great-tailed Grackle rare bird alerts here sometimes. This is also a favorite as the birds seemed to be performing a mating ritual. Would love to post a photo of the brown eyed version too but I'd probably get in trouble. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I really need to go out and try to take better photos of these, especially considering my username! They are surprisingly uncooperative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Friedman Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Great-tailed, very common here in northern N. M. I'm sure I uploaded my shot of them in the parking lot of a well-known Arkansas-based superstore, so you get a more natural-looking one. Common, one of the first birds I learned as a kid in Ohio (beyond robin, sparrow, blue jay, cardinal). Much less common here, but these were here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayD Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 0ld shot with a b500, when they are right outside my window all day, I take them for granted. I should put my upgraded camera on them. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
