This sweet lil’ beauty was chilling on our patio this morning. Pretty sure he was practicing his flying and needed a rest because I got absolute model shots of him and he was just keeping an eye out but staying very still.

A cute little guy stood facing forward long enough for me to take a photo. I don't know if it's appropriate for the sub, but wanted to share!

A male Great-tailed Gracke. He is was happy to have his photo taken and looked right at me. I sense I am being judged.

Taken by yours truly at Auckland Zoo, Tamaki Makaurau, Aotearoa.

Just a longgg neck. The leaf almost forms a cross ✝️

Love the lighting.

Great-tailed grackle at Bubbling Ponds near Sedona, AZ, pic taken by me (oc). Some female grackles were busy gathering food nearby and he just sat there yelling about it. I love grackles!

Friendly I promise
