You would typically see the blue color in the photo, but it's not always noticeable on an actual bird outdoors. It depends on how the light is reflected, I guess.Nice. We don't get Grackles here and I have never seen the blue around the head and neck when I have been in the States (and never seen one in Canada).
I have to eat my words. Looking back over my images, I do find some with the blue colour.You would typically see the blue color in the photo, but it's not always noticeable on an actual bird outdoors. It depends on how the light is reflected, I guess.
Up here in Edmonton area I've photographed them occasionally and even in sunlight the head was only slightly blue. IOW they tended to look all black so it seems, like starlings, you've got to catch the light at just the right angle.Nice.

Thanks Alan. It was in shadow and soft light and a bit of luck. Yes, at first sight it looked like a blackbird, somehow.Nice. We don't get Grackles here and I have never seen the blue around the head and neck when I have been in the States (and never seen one in Canada).
Thanks Click. Finally we are out of the winter's grey and brown colors. Fresh green leaves and colorful birds are our treats for our eyes during spring-summer.Beautiful colours. Nice shot, bhf3737.

Hi, I have been on vacation since 5/1 and still have another week left. I have been out every day chasing warblers and everything else. It's been a great warbler year so far, 33 species, in Milwaukee County! Best one was an ultra rare (for my area) Black-throated Gray Warbler. He hung around the same place for a couple days, providing great views. I'm close to 40,000 pictures already this month, so I haven't had much time to edit. Here a few though, that are highly coveted among warbler watchers, which I was fortunate to get awesome photos of.

I have 100s of photos from my extensive travels of the year prior to lockdown that were unprocessed and I now have time to view.Nice shots Alan but I believe you are not traveling?
