Another Grackle attack

[dk1677]

Having my morning coffee I looked out in my yard in time to see a Grackle fly in and go after the Catbirds , I had to get my shooting window  shade up and get it opened and was surprised he was still there walking around I got the 850 and watched as he circled an apple tree, I was waiting for him to stoop but he just kept walking so I decided to try and lead him a little and take a shot , I let the CPHP go and there was a  whack and he fell over one wing in the air ( 25 yards). No picture yet as its a light rain ( maybe later unless a cat  gets it)  . Funny I was looking in an old bird book ( copyright 1909) and in the write up on Grackles the author said he considered them to be the most destructive bird.

Great shot with your 850...the CPHP really made him bleed.

Nice shot Dave!  It's the only way I like looking at Grackles.  On their back or their side

Really cool blood scene.. great nail polish job.. who did you learn it from?
