All The Colors
Although it is often considered just another blackbird, the Common Grackle is far more brilliantly colored than one might first recognize. I suppose this bird is an illustration of the notion that black contains all the colors.
This handsome bird landed in a tree near where I was filming – perhaps to make certain he was included in the photo shoot. He certainly deserved it. Just look at all those shades of pink, and amber and orange – topped with the green and blue hues on his head. Absolutely gorgeous.
Grackles are beautiful birds. I have photographed them before, but never managed to get a great picture like yours with all the colors on their wings.
yes, fantastic capture of the colors!
Thank you!
Grackles, my favorite pirates. Breed together early with your mates, then head out to pillage over the land.
