Bird on a Boat Railing

I saw this bird sitting on the rail of a boat at the marina in Richardson Park. I am not sure of what kind of bird it is, but I think it could be a female Common Grackle.

Some may find the bright line at the top to be distracting but it is the rail on the opposite side of the boat, and to me it is part of the scene.

Nikon Z 6 ,Nikkor 500mm f/8 Reflex Ai-S
1/1600s f/8.0 at 500.0mm iso800
Manual mirror lens used with FTZ adapter and 'focus peaking' full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great capture of this bird! I think the rail in the top of the image helps to show off the bird's face. V

She’s very curious! “Is that a Nikon?” She’s thinking

A good shot of this alert looking bird, watching the birdie?

Fine shot, Vern! And I agree, it looks like a Grackle to me too. They are often bold and gregarious - this one looks like it has attitude. LOL
