grackles are already ugly when they are dry, in the Sunshine and of course, poor lady, her look isn't improved when wet;
an excellent portrait with fantastic details in the feathers;

Comment from Sange
Outstanding Capture E!
Wish I had more stars..gave my last one to KB.
What a rare sighting to see a female Grackle all soaked from the rain.
Focus, eye clarity, details, Exposure are all spot on.
Great clarity with fabulous DOF!
Well done E!

Comment from Kbanich
Awe, poor little thing! She does look a bit water logged. That said, the detail and optimization of light could not be any better. The soft bokeh sets the stage for nice depth. I like it.

Hi Eileen!
Here's a fine portrait photograph of another somewhat somber looking Avian creature that's probably disturbed by falling barometric pressure and other atmospheric changes!
An interesting image,my friend!
