After taking dozens of photos at the park yesterday I spotted this very noisy bird on the way back to my truck. I basically pointed the camera straight up to get the photos. But that eye! I think this is a Brewers Blackbird. A handsome little bird that always has plenty to say.
I’ve tried so many times to capture birds like this. It’s tricky! Nice job, John!
Thank you! I saw them heading toward me, I just raised the cam up and clicked. Lucky shot…
It is a grackle as already commented, and yes they like to make noise! Beautiful, iridescent bird, great shots, John!
IMHO, I think this is a grackle. The brewer’s blackbird is similar, but the grackle has a heavier beak and a longer tail. Nice picture of it. I love the deep blue colour.
OK, thanks Anneli! I struggle with recognising birds… He sure has a loud mouth. 🥰
That’s him!
It’s a chicken!
I’ve never seen a chicken land in a tree, Richard! He doesn’t have much meat either! 😂
A very handsome bird, John. Nice catch!
Thanks so much! He was really very loud! As though saying take my photo!! 😂
