Common Grackle looking into creek for minnows
Jumping from rock to rock, eyeing the moving water below, looking for fast moving minnows swimming by...this Grackle kept a close eye out for his prey and was amazingly quick to finally spot and catch his dinner on Fall Creek in Ithaca, NewYork. Common Grackles appear black from a distance, but up close their glossy purple heads contrast with bronzy-iridescent bodies. A bright golden eye gives grackles an intent expression.
