Boat-tailed Grackle

[David_MC]

On my outing yesterday morning at the Marvel Salt Marsh Preserve there were several Boat-tailed Grackles perched in a tree and flying around. These guys are only found in coastal areas and salt marshes along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the US.

You did well with these David. They look in beautiful condition.

Wonderful shots David. Lovely framing, detail and those colours are fab. They are similar to our crows and ravens.

An excellent set David. Great colour, sharpness and framing. I do wonder how people come up with these weird bird names.
