Description
Great-tailed Grackle Display by Debra Martz Even though many, including myself, consider this and other grackles to be a nuisance, I still love the iridescent color of its feathers. This is just one of several displays the male Great-tailed Grackle will perform during mating season. If you look at its eye, instead of seeing yellow, your are seeing the nictitating membrane aka the 3rd eyelid in birds. Though I would prefer the yellow color, the light caught this just right and somewhat adds to the overall iridescence.
