Description
Not a pretty songbird but since my aim in this series is to capture all the birds that visit my backyard, here is the "Bronzed Grackle".
These birds can be a nuisance because they typically roam in flocks. Their sinister appearance appears to intimidate smaller songbirds but I've only had a lone bird come and go once or twice a day.
Thanks for stopping by,
Bill:)

Nice Image..
Wonderful shot's! Well done!!*****
The Gackles do have amazing eyes, excellent collage and captures, awesome!!!
Beautiful colours around the neck Bill.
Do they belong to the crow family, may not be handsome but some nice cololurs there.
amazing colors
Beautiful shots!!
Very smart looking corvine, that name is such a good decription of the calls of birds in this family.
Good pics, especially to show the irridescent colors and evil eyes. Unwelcome bird.
Wonderful photos.,
Grackles were never the pest that the starlings were at home. Love their colors - they have a distinctive yak to let you know they have arrived as well. Great shots.
Don't think I have ever seen a bird like this one, does put me in mind of the starling...great capture
Excellent. Love the colors. Don't like the bird much. One or two is fine, but when the ground is covered with dozens or a hundred of them and they make that sneery sound, I think of Hitchcok's movie and chase them off.
excellent
Excellent shot. menacing eyes on that dude. Agree with moonrancher. One or two is quite enough.
Cool! It has a certain......meanace! A mean looking bird. Kind of like our Magpies or Jackdaws! Another top montage! Rob.
I like them, they seem to have real character. Great captures!
Having never seen one and having no experience with them, all I can do is look at your photographs and marvel at the beautiful shift of color. That rich teal is gorgeous! I would imagine that 15 minutes with a flock of them would cure me of that view, but in the meantime, I'll just enjoy their beauty. Wonderful captures!
great capture!!
Excellent capture of this interesting bird.
actually it looks a bit scary! superb capture again!
Wonderful bird, colours and pov !!! Really very nice shot, dear Bill !!! 5* Hugs; Karin :)
fantastic capture..Bravissimo..!!!!
Nonpareil clarity, focus, lighting and colors in this shot of the sheen birdie, Bill! The eyes are rather hyper I would say...almost robotlike. No wonder it scares away the other avians that come to feed at the large bowl.
I actually like the blue coloring on his head.
SWEEEEET
Interesting colours on this bird, here in UK we would never see one of these. Good to get your shot so close, I imagine from a distance you wouldn't notice the beautiful colour. Strange eye lol. Bravo!
A scout no doubt!! Great shot! Shows the subtle colors well!
I rather like his beautiful shiny plumage. Lovely captures.
They do have cool eyes and wonderful iridescence when the sun shines on them. But they sure can decimate your bird seed! Nice shot, Bill.
