A fine series.
The glare is wonderful.
Wow, that was an evil look.
Thank you, Ice Swimmer.
My studio side set up has me very close to the birds, around 10 feet. The water is closer, about 8 feet. Grackles have a grand glare, but in reality, they are the sweetest, clumsiest, and most endearing birds.
