Last summer these two lovely birds frequented my bird bath for a couple months. They were always together and while they do not look like make and female having the same dark coloring, its possible they are siblings who stayed together during the hot spell. I chose this photo to work on out of all of the ones I had of them, their topaz eyes set against the dark navy feathers, the blues and violets so attractive with the chocolate brown bodies. If anyone knows this species, drop me a note! Enjoy.
What a wonderful shot and editing! I got my bird book out and it appears these are two male Common Grackles.
