Common Grackle (Quiscalus quiscala)


excerpt from oiseaux.net :

Common grackle has a long, spoon-shaped tail, and a large, slightly decurved bill. Adult male is glossy black all over, with a strong metallic sheen, purple on head and neck, bronze or purple on remainder of plumage (depending on population). It has striking pale yellowish eyes, and long graduate tail. Legs are dark.
Adult female is smaller than male. It's duller black, especially on underparts, but also has pale yellowish eyes. Juvenile is drabber sooty-brown and has dark eyes, but retains distinctive shape.

Hi Michel,
A good shot of a nice looking bird, well composed but there seems to be a bit of noise in the background, more visable in the larger image.
Regards Andy

Bravo Malain, j`essaie depuis longtemps de prendre le Quiscale avec le bleu qui soit aussi évident. Par contre l`arrière plan me semble distortionné. Tu pourra sûrement m`expliquer la raison!!! Gilles
