The iridescent feathers of a common grackle

Описание

We originally thought this beautiful bird was a crow but we were wrong - it's a grackle. Please forgive our earlier posting that crowed about finding a stunning corvid. Grackles are very common here in Austin and they're a smart and interesting species, just like crows.

Grackles - again, like crows - are basically black, but caught in the sunlight the gorgeous iridescence of this bird's head and neck feathers really shone through.
