Bob was on a trip through the southwestern desert when he stayed at the Boulder Beach Campground of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada. Every morning and evening the great tailed grackles would fly through the campground foraging or looking for a place to roost or whatever. They are very noisy, boisterous birds with a variety of calls. He eventually managed to photograph this female as it perched on a creosote bush branch.
This was shot with a 400mm zoom lens and then heavily cropped to bring out the details of this bird.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
