Grackle Chows Down

Grackle Chows Down · 03:00 PM

Here's a shot of my nemesis - a grackle - chowin' down; this is how they arm themselves to bomb pristinely clean sailboats.

Haha nice shot Jer looks like he is taking the "red pill"(ie: Matrix) to prepare for the bombing. Nice bokeh on that shot your birding skills are improving. The eye is in sharp foucs.

Now the shot to get will be him unloading his bomb.

Hi Jer, you can relax on this one he is not out to bomb your boat. He is way too busy finding a female that will accept his offering and therefore....well you know how it goes. :-) Nice photo BTW.

Good thing my K20D is weather sealed - but will that be enough?

Thanks, Heinrich. What your saying is that this grackle will begat more grackles; guess I'd better buy another bottle of wax!

Hey, thanks, buddy. Usually, I only wave my arms, thump the rigging and cuss 'em.
