Just a Crow

But not a bad looking bird when you catch it in the right light, eh?

I really like the stark contrast of the background and those subtle colors.

Also, this looks more like a grackle and not a crow.

Nice job Joel, did right well in getting all the subtle colors

Thanks, Keith. Yeah, I changed the subject title when I realized my mistake. But it still shows up in the index wrong.

I'd never knowingly seen a Grackle before. Truthfully, before I started photographing birds, I never really paid attention to birds all that much. They'd always fly away before I could ID them. Photography has really increased my appreciation for birds, because it allows you infinite time to go back and observe them. They're really pretty cool. :cool

Thanks, Daniel. So they're pests, eh? I guess they're like crows in more than just looks in that regard.

Awesome capture
These subtle colors are seldom noticed on these seemingly "black" birds and this capture demostrates this. Good work Joel
