Bird on a Wire - Boat-tailed Grackle

A bit closer to the harbor, a male boat-tailed grackle gingerly approaches a loudly calling female who clearly holds the high ground in this encounter. He appears to be bearing a gift of some sort; a diamond, maybe, or a pearl, perhaps, freshly plucked from the nearby oyster beds.

Love, 



unrequited.
