That is a female boat tailed grackle. If you have food in your hand she probably would have gotten even closer. They love stealing food from people.

Glad to see you posting again! Very impressive Snowy Owls. I have yet to see one, but on my bucket list. I really like the first one with the golden glow.

Love the Snowy's.....on my "bucket list" for sure.

No Snowy Owls in south central Kentucky but the Eastern Bluebirds have been around all winter and are most cooperative......

Great shots. I wish I could get one flying at me. I can find them easy enought, but getting action shots has been much harder.

thank you Jason, Joel, and Pat.....now I just have to post more pix so I remember how to do it. LOL

Joel.....nice capture of the bluebird. The bluebirds are passing thru here now, but they'll disappear in a couple of weeks and find some open field areas for nesting.
