SPLISH, SPLASH March 27, 2019 by belindagroverphotography 18 Comments This grackle was enjoying the fine weather and a solitary bath in the lake. Although a common bird, I think their good looks and intelligence raise them above the ordinary. Like this:Like Loading...

Wonderful photo, Belinda, capturing the splashing water and bathing grackle. A flurry of washing, makes me smile.

Its bright yellowish eye gives the sparkling drops competition. What a perfect moment you’ve captured here!

Am I right in thinking that grackles are in the starling family? Or are they something else entirely? 🙂

They are both passerine birds but members of different families 🙂
