7:08 AM Wake Up Call

[Milt Berko]

Taken this morning at 7:08 AM. Appears that the Grackle was giving his mates a wake up call. I was facing east-southeast as the sun came up.

After I posted this image, I noticed that Harold posted a similar capture from today's meet at Wakodahatchee.

Milt, the BG in this is so beautiful! I would recommend taking the branches all the way to black - in some places they seem to have a red glow to them. I love the position of the bird on the bottom - lovely silhouette!

Familiar scene - love the colours and the poses - agree with Jules about the branches.
Thats one nice sunrise you all got to see!!

i like your bg even more!! the calling pose of the bottom bird adds. agree about taking the blacks even blacker. nice job!!!

[Peter Farrell]

Nice silhouette image. I love the BG color and the calling pose of the one bird.
Grackles look good except when they are in my feeders!
