Uncommonly colorful...

...the Common Grackle (at certain times of the year) is very colorful, even on heavy overcast days like today.

Nicely done.

Nice shot! I like the way the eye appears to be glaring. I like the wide stance he's taken.

Wasn't there a Senator from Idaho a while back that said he had a 'Wide' stance?

Larry Craig?

Thanks all. I was trying out a different lens combo on the new 7Dmkii. I had a Canon 70-200mm F4 L with a 2x ext on it. Seemed to work well even though the ext moved the F-stop min to F8. Nice, light, and handy. I think I have found my all-purpose take what you can get set up. Put then lens on the camera, and carry the little extender in my pocket.
