Great-tailed Grackle

Great-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus)

While waiting on a grassy slope to try and get some flight shots of the ducks this Grackle landed close to me with its lunch. I managed to fire off a couple of shots before it flew away. Hope you enjoy the image.

Awesome close-up of this female with her dragonfly catch. Great action shot with fabulous focusing, dof, lighting, colors, feather detail, eye contact, and background. Exceptional Jim! TFS!
