Zombie Grackle!

[Jeff Dyck]

Here's a Grackle zombie calling for "Brainnnns!!!" taken at last light (when the zombies come out...). I also got a few frames in the sequence with the textbook head angle and without the nictitating membrane covering the eye, but I think this frame is infinitely more interesting...

Canon 1DIV -- Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS -- 1/250s @ f/6.3 -- ISO-1250 (yay, noise reduction software!) -- 0 EV -- handheld on a beanbag

Great behaviour shot! Could have been even better without the white nictitating membrane showing.

Spooky. Nice pose, great light, the colors and detail look good. The Bg is as good as it gets.

Very spooky indeed. Great color and detail and a super BG. Fine image even without the perfect head angle.

Good job on the exposure and showing the colors on this bird. Love the stretched out head and head turn. Eye can go either way to me.
