Are You Talkin' to Me?
Posted By: Sailor, 04-29-2009, 02:44 PM

Grackles are my nemeses - they swoop into the marina early in the morning, seek out the pristine freshly waxed boats, perch in the rigging for 15 minutes and do their worst. During their time aboard (if I'm awake) I strive to make their lives uncomfortable (without inflicting actual physical harm). I think this SOB recognized me, but I've got his number . . . . . . . and I don't forget!

This is a great image, and more than jus' another 'bird' shot.
I like the demarcated background, and how the black bird intersects 'it.

Thanks for the kind words - I appreciate them very much.

Thanks, buddy. I'm on my boat (which I just washed) as I write this, so I'm keeping a sharp eye out for these ugly critters!
