The Grackles are ready for hot weather. They are growing new feathers and do the "show boat", puffing up to keep cool. And in between snacking, they go and take refreshing baths at the pond. All the while looking magnificent. Oh, to be a Grack... #birds #photography

A Grackle sits at the feeder, wings held away from the body to stay cool.

@Ostdrossel@mindly.social Oh my, they are fine-looking. Begging your indulgence, I can easily imagine writing speech balloons for them--aphorisms, possibly, or wry comments.
