Common Grackle?

Do people actually see grackles like this? I find the black/blue difference very subtle

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I see them like that when they're in the sun (Like a rich blue and a metallic, kind of desaturated dRk purple) . If they're in shade/overcast they look like metallic crows to me.

Probably not unless it's stylistically like that. Grackles has black beaks anyway

Oops, you're right.
