Performance art

If you’ve ever heard the sound a grackle makes (most likely where their name came from), then you can imagine precisely what this male great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) said to me…

A male great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) standing on the ground (2008_12_07_001793)
A male great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) looking at me (2008_12_07_001795)
A male great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) beginning his signature call (2008_12_07_001796)
A male great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) bellowing his signature call (2008_12_07_001797)
A male great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) finishing his signature call (2008_12_07_001798)
A male great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) looking directly at me (2008_12_07_001804)

And don’t for a moment think he was talking to anyone else but me.
