Shrimp Thief

In this image, a laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) is captured mid-flight, having just snatched a shrimp from the water. Upon closer inspection, the shrimp is visible in the gull's beak, along with droplets of water suspended in the air from its dramatic takeoff. Meanwhile, in the lower left corner, a sanderling (Calidris alba) strolls by, passing a piece of driftwood resting on the sandy shore.

Grackle's Bayou Forage

Grackles are fascinating birds, known for behaviors that demonstrate intelligence similar to that of crows. They are not corvids though, they are members of the blackbird family, Icteridae. Common grackles often form large flocks that, according to accounts, can seemingly fill the skies of central Texas. This particular bird, however, is a boat-tailed grackle (Quiscalus major), which is found exclusively near the shores of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean in the United States.

Grackles belong to the blackbird family. To view images of these striking birds and other members of their family, visit my photo gallery at:

This captivating image portrays a boat-tailed grackle foraging on a bank of rocks along a serene bayou. The bird's shimmering, iridescent blue-black feathers stand out vividly against the muted tones of the rocks and water. Its posture suggests intent focus, as though it is scanning for food or savoring the natural surroundings. Adding to the allure is the subtle reflection of the grackle in the water, creating a harmonious balance between the bird and its tranquil environment.
