They are really lovely looking birds. This is a super capture. Very, very sharp, and in action - love her wet beak gleaming. Viv

I've never heard the name Grackle. Do you know birds, or take a picture and then research to find out what it is?

Thank you all for looking and commenting. Artfulpics, it's probably a little of both plus I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once. Wink
