First grackle of 2014

COMMON GRACKLE, CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN, GLENCOE, ILLINOIS, APRIL 6, 2014

1/640 sec. f7.1 (effective f9)
ISO 800

The big blackbirds were the most common avian sight yesterday at the Botanic Garden. They're not particularly interesting or attractive as photographic subjects, but once in a while they will strike a pose worth capturing.
