Enter the Grackle

I caught a couple of yard shots of a common grackle yesterday. The pictures weren't anything particularly special. The grackle is not the prettiest bird in the world, yet it is surprising just how much color and detail you can see on this bird.

Edit: A year later, I'm pretty sure that this is not a grackle but a European Starling. You can see other posts that are tagged European Starling for more photos. Thanks!
