I have about a dozen in my backyard and about two dozen little songbirds. They empty the feeders in two days, but need our help the most this time of the year.

A fine looking Grackle, Karl. They certainly are "big" eaters, but every bird species has to eat, as we know. Can't recall a seeing a better Grackle photograph, than this one!

Great details and colors, Karl. Interesting how different the plumage looks in this light.
