I spent a lot of time watching Grackles circle the pond looking for food. They would grab bugs, tadpoles, and frogs from near the pond in Summerhill, NY.
I like the colors of their eyes, and the dark purple colors near their head.
They are a very timid bird, and fly quickly if you get near them.

Nice shot, Steve!
He's looking at you as if you might be thinking of taking his lunch...
I saw my first grackle in Arizona over fifteen years ago. There was a big flock of them in the campground where I was camping - Lake Patagonia. I was totally intrigued by their iredescent coloring.
How in the world did you get this picture?! It's great.
Don't mess with his bug.
Great shot! I like the framing too.

I used a zoom lens to take the photo. I wasn't going to mess with the bird after seeing his/her eyes.
