Boat-Tailed Grackle
Boat-Tailed Grackle
Grackles are common in Southeastern US especially Florida. The males have an iridescent black plumage while the females are brown and are slightly smaller. I took these photos in Viera, Florida.

How beautiful! Great shots, too. I would have just referred to the male as a blackbird, but I guess it's a different species, entirely. Thanks for sharing.
Blackbirds are a little smaller than grackles, but I would see them together in Florida. You would have to look closely to tell them apart.

Male birds are always very ornate. Congratulations I have very nice detail. @rwedegis
Thank you for your comments @turkishcrew!
The male looks like crow in blue version! Nice shots!
Thank you! The males are just a little smaller then crows and their beaks are much more pointy. When I first started photoing them I did think they were crows.
That's an amazing camera, and the photos say that it is in wise hands... Excellent shots!... Congrats.
