Photo of the Day! Grackle


Nikon D7000, Nikkor 300mm f2.8 w/TC14e II @420mm, ISO 200, f5.6, 1/1000, SB800 for fill

I went out for a quick morning shoot this week at a local park. I was out looking for Purple Martin's, but the city was putting the docks in the water where they are normally found. I walked around a small pond and found this Grackle in the dead reeds from last year.

    It is amazing that these birds have so many colors. When the fly by they look all black.

  3. That is a cool looking bird! The picture brings out its colors because of the setting it was taken in. Great shot, Derek!
