I guess it's playing "king of the mountain." I bet it doesn't miss seeing anything up there!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he's the King of the neighbourhood.
ReplyDeleteThat blackbird looks beautiful against the blue blue sky.
ReplyDeleteHe choose a nice place for a picture.
ReplyDeleteThey squawk. I'd be with the 'neighbors' on this one. ha!
ReplyDeleteLooks very healthy. Mine doesn't. An ex-blackbird, in fact

My comment on that post remains the same!!
DeleteMuch as I appreciate your contributions, Moscow Daily Photo's comment is right up my Rue (as we say in France)
Deletenice, sleek grackle.
ReplyDeleteThese guys are everywhere! He looks nice up there on that light.
ReplyDeleteHe has a good view point from up there.
ReplyDeleteHe has a good vantage point.
ReplyDeleteNice shot! Very crisp and clear...good composition...and that blue, blue sky!!!
ReplyDeleteNice shot! I'll be posting a blackbird, too, next week. I kept thinking of the Beatles song, "Blackbird." I like your more literary choice.
ReplyDeleteI think Lord Tennyson did not know our Starlings and their wicked ways! The battle goes on!!
ReplyDeleteWell he has a good view.
ReplyDeleteI like the balance of the black bird above the black pole in your photo. The blue of the sky is an intense background.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
ReplyDeleteCute but these little guys are pests. They follow me around the golf course and laugh - "Haw, haw, haw!" I'd like to see one of them play golf!
ReplyDeleteRe your comment on Cedar Key: I think you would enjoy Cedar Key but it's very laid back and there isn't a lot to do other than walk the streets and shops and visit the restaurants. Fishing is big. You could go boating or kayaking. Visit the museum. Ride bike. Ride motor scooter. Take lots of photos. You could use Cedar Key as a base to visit other places in central and north Florida, though.
Well spotted. Great shot, Kate.
