Great-tailed Grackle - Farmington Bay, Utah
Perched on the luggage rack of a duck hunter's SUV. I liked the high fashion pose and feather iridescence  revealed by a brief moment of sunshine.

  2. Solid work again compiling all of these great birding resources, thanks for your hard work Robert.

    Does that Grackle have only 1 leg or is that the picture? I've see amputee Grackles pretty often, but it still calls for a double-take.
