Common Grackles are, you guessed it, pretty common around here. Just because they are “common” though does not mean they are not still beautiful. When the sunlight hits them at the right angle, it shines upon all their beautiful colors. They are colored with gorgeous hues of blue, green and purple. Their bright colors really highlight their bright yellow eyes too.








There is beauty in everything, even the common things, or maybe especially the common things. Don’t overlook them just because you see them on a regular basis. Take the time to look at everything, and see the beauty right in front of you.
Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
Youβve captured their plumage beautifully

These are beautiful shots! How do you get them so clear and close without scaring them. I have a blue jay living on my porch that flys away it seems if I even think about coming his way lol!

Thank you. Blue Jays are pretty elusive for me too. I just keep my distance, then use my zoom on my camera. I stay still until I get the shots I want.

I attempted this with a Red tailed hawk behind my home today and got a couple of really nice pictures of it. It was really big! My neighbors probably think I was being weird but it was worth it lol, I think it was a female!
