"Young Grackles" 5" x 5" oil
There's nothing quite like having a pile of young birds (in this case, Common Grackles) descend upon your yard, with their curious, clumsy, confused ways. This group I observed seemed especially fresh and clueless, trying nibbles of plants and twigs before getting it right by cracking seeds I'd offered. This stage of adolescence in birds is especially endearing to me.

Grackles, who flock and muck about on the yard. And one must resist the urge to bark like a dog to send them in flight.
