Boat-tail or Common Grackle


I just love watching these birds on the shore. Even though they don't look like they fit in with the gulls, terns, egrets, sandpipers, etc., these grackles just jump right in for the hunt just like the rest of them.


The name just suits these feathered creatures. There always seems to be at least one feather out of place and the way they move is just entrancing. They make me smile when I see them saunter in a sideways fashion along the shoreline.


Fun, fun, fun...
