These are stills from a video that was automatically recorded by my Birdfy device. There are unfortunate glare spots because the sun was shining on the lens, including a round orange spot that makes it look like it has a red breast like a robin. I can’t avoid placing the camera where it gets sunstruck because the only direction that never gets direct sun is north, and that would be looking toward my neighbor’s window.
Speaking of Siri, she failed at identifying the bird when it faced downward, guessing that it was a beetle or a bear!
I like this photo where the bird looks at me with curiosity, as if it wants to discover or say something...
ReplyDeleteLovely pics
ReplyDeleteAn incredibly handsome, under-appreciated bird.
ReplyDeleteGreat closeups of the Grackle.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
...its cousins haven't found our feeders yet.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a robin at first. I had robins on the mind because I saw one in California for the first time yesterday. Strange because apparently they are common in the winter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie pie. Birds are such wonderful things to have in your yard. We have lots here.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

Wow, Siri wasn't even close!! On the plus side, I didn't know she could do screen captures.
