Juvenile Boat-tailed Grackle

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. This juvenile Boat-tailed Grackle is calling for a parent to feed it. A flock of adults and juvenile dropped in with the parents catching worms on these plants, then flying to their young and feeding them. A constant effort to keep the juveniles feed. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

This image reminds me of Geoffrey's image posted below!
Nice light and I like the curving line created by the perch.
Excellent IQ and details.

Nice detail on the bird, also like the perch and that open mouth.
