Grackle, Common

I think these birds have such pretty colors in their feathers. The iridescent blue on their heads is so pretty.

The male and female at the feeder.

 He even enjoyed my little fountain I put in this year. 

He loved the red berries that were in this tree.  Some call it a sweet bay tree, it is a relative of the Magnolia, it has very sweet smelling flowers and then the pod that opens with red berries.  It blooms all summer.

Here he is on the Dogwood tree.
