Every one knows the story of the Ugly Duckling. How a cygnet got mixed in with a flock of ducklings. Here is the Lawnguylin* version of the tale. The Marbled Godwit that got mixed up with a flock of Er-ster Catchas** If you look closely, there is a brown bird mixed in with all black and white birds with the big red beaks. Now I understand why people walk around with huge lens. This picture was taken with a 70-300mm zoom. I could have used more mm.
Hey, you looking at me!
This guy was one of many Grackle's at our friend's bird feeder this afternoon. In a blink of an eye, they were all gone. It was like magic.
*In Brooklynese Long Island becomes one word pronounced Lawnguyland.
**Again the Brooklyn accent, the "Oi" combination is pronounced "Er". Words like toilet is pronounced ter-let, Oil is pronounced earl. Oyster is pronounced Erster or Ersta. Again a true Brooklyn accent, "er" at the end of a word becomes an "a". Shower, flower, power, tumbler, pronounced as shough-wa, flough-wa, pow-wa and tum-bla. It's our version of the "Name Game"
