Beautiful shot of this Grackle all puffy showing the many layers and colors on their feathers. Your framing is perfect and photo is well composted. Superb eye and beak clarity. Your focus spot on with well defined details of the feathers and markings. Beautiful and artistic blurred background complimenting your photography beautifully. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

It is fair to say that this is a female. I am wondering if she is getting ready to do the call or already did it. Very nice capture. Good work on the focus catching the detail in the feathers. Nice colors and faded background. Thanks for sharing. The males are very hard to shoot when the sun hits them dead on.

Nice shot of this bird. He seems to be posing for you. I like the green background that complements the bird nicely. Well done.

This girl looks funny, puffed up all over. Your focus was apparently spot on. The details of plumage and body are well defined. The soft green background emphasizes her colors nicely. Her off-center placement is eye pleasing.

A very nice shot of this all too common bird. I like the flat light and the great detail in the plumage. The colors are excellent and the composition is attractive.

This little grackle is puffy and looks to be a bit perturbed! I am wondering what he is staring down. Very nice detailed shot, good crop and great faded natural background.

Birds do this puffy thing to get some cooler air on their bodies. Thanks Joek

I did not know that, I always thought it was like a lot of other animals that puff themselves up when they thought there was danger lurking. Thank you for the info!

Quite a nice bird shot posted here! Your almost central composition gives us a good look at him/her! Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done

He is all puffed up, that's for sure. What has him all stirred?
Very nice image, Eileen. Great focus. Detail is so crisp. Lighting perfect. Well done.

Eileen,
A wonderful picture of this Grackle all puffed up as if cold or wanting to draw attention to itself the light sparkling in it's light coloured eye. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
