    On this one, I replaced the feeder in the back of the bird with a photo I took awhile back of my neighbors tree. Looks better than the feeder did anyway!

    Western Meadowlarks are fairly common east of Calgary... it's about time I went out and got a shot. They have a beautiful and long song, so if you fire off a fast burst you're likely to get a shot with its beak wide open.

    Canon 1D3, 300 mm f/2.8 lens with 1.4 TC, 1/1250 sec @ f/6.3, ISO 200

    That is a fabulous shot of a beautiful song bird. It is our state bird and I have only seen the guy once!

    Yes it is. They have attacked my back yard again this year so I took all the food out of the feeders. Maybe they won't swing by anymore and scare off my other birds. Here was the other shot I had from that little stop.

    Thanks! I have the same problem with our provincial bird, the Great Horned Owl, which manages to evade me on a regular basis..!

    Anybody know why I can't find a "Greckal" in Audubon Birds or Wiki?

    OK, I'm on the other side of the world and I don't know most of the birds posted here, so could you please provide a little more detail for us Aliens.
    Canon EOS 7D, EF-S 10-22, EF 24-105L, EF 50 f1.2L, EF 70-300L, 430EX.

    It's a "Grackle" , I believe there is more than one variety....this one looks like a Boat tailed Grackle I think.
