Nice shot! I might have placed more space to the left of the image and less on the right, but only a bit.

think its a starling

its a cow bird!!

Both wrong. It is a Female Common Grackle. I need to update some of my older pictures. I will try and post my picture of a cowbird and a starling this weekend. Thanks.

thanks! i see many of them here in FL so I would like to see a starling! because I have thought there were starlings!

the one here...

This picture, the egret on the concrete, and the turkey vultures were the 1st pictures I took with my "Christmas 2011" gift camera. At that time I didn't know the difference between an egret and a crane. Or the difference between between a grackle and a crow. I thought "seagull" was the name for gulls. In other words I knew nothing at all about birds. But, I'm learning.

I love birds ive bred exotic birds and im an amature bird watcher, its really cool the grackle looks more like the cowbird than the cowbird, naww ive looked at both and ,,, I dunno,,, honest,,, the cow bird has exactly same colors and feather signatures as the grackle, however heres my difference the grackle, has a black head, all around and this bird doesn't. but all the other markers are there, sort of. lol don't pay any never mind to me, I dunno, lol great picture tho!!

All I can say is the 2 female grackles here were in a group of about 1 or 2 hundred that had decended on the walmart parking lot. There were female and male. Perhaps they all weren't adult grackles. As you know, when birds aren't at the adult stage in their lives they do have different markings.

yeah juvies can fool ya, im not saying this isn't a grackle, it could be a cow bird ive no idea which, now what I do know is the focus and over all picture are of excellent quality and a very pleasing picture over all, blow it up, frame it, sell fer a couple hundred!!!

Send me a check - I'll sell it to you. Really, I don't know how to go about selling my pictures.
