Common Grackle

Parker, CO

This one did this elaborate little move which lasted for just an instant. At first, I thought he might be angry with me or something, but he was pretty far away at the top of a tree, so maybe not. This is about 1/4 of the frame shot at a full frame equivalent of 840mm.

Amazing how much detail we can get out of these micro43 sensors when we crop so much.

Nice! Hard to say... they do have great eyesight so it may have been directed at you..after all, you were in one of his trees at the time

This is one outstanding "bird picture". It does look as if it was planning to attack. "VVV"
