... these guys would have stayed in Europe!



Have you ever seen a grackle's eyelid? You have now. :) My focus hit the neck so I had to try and sharpen the head as this guy jerked around a lot.

I think they're Lost.... we have a lot of them here too. I don't mind them though-today it looked like scenes from the movie "The Birds" at my house. Had a humungous flock of crows, blackbirds, grackles & starlings(both types). I'm guessing they liked the buffet that was spread out for them, lol, I wonder if anything is left..... anyway, great shots Gary, thanks for sharing. :)

Two great captures love how you managed to get the detail on the 2nd shot
considering the high contrast from the bird being that he had dark feathers.
You nailed these.

Many thanks! While I may have nailed the first one, the second is not all that great because he was jerking around. The only thing I wanted to show was his eyelid.
