Description
True colors.
Bird book lists "Bronzed Grackle" under the heading of Common Grackle and adds, "...occurs in most of New England and west of the Appalachians [mountains]; it has a bronze back, blue head, and purple tail.
The best time of the day here to get the true colors of a bird is mid-day. morning and late afternoon introduce many shadows. This was mid-day when the sun was directly overhead.
Please keep your comments coming. You all are making this series particularly interesting for me as I am still very much a novice in the details of the bird world.

Bill! it now seems you ARE the man for the birds! Regularly 30 comments.... Way to go AND this is a stunner as well. Colours are outstanding. Looks mean though. Great stuff. Love it! Rob.
