Awesome details and colors. What a combination d300 and 200-400. You know where I'm going with this don't you???????

Spectacular looking Grackle. Love the irridescent colors which are not easy to capture. The open beak is a nice plus. I would crop a bit off the top.

Al - Gorgeous - love the details and the irredecent Feathers - fantastic detail in the eye and the BG just sets it off so well... Congrats :)

Nice and sharp. Love the iridescence on the feathers Al. Looks like a tough bird to expose for.

Superb shot! Just lovely lighting and from experience with common grackles, I know how hard it is to expose them this well! The beak open really takes this one up a notch. Boat tailed grackle?
