Feed me!

I enjoyed watching the antics of this young grackle as it demanded to be fed. It may be out of the nest but it wasn't on its own yet. This is another backyard image taken in Central Illinois.

Canon SL1

1/500 @ F-5.6 ISO 800
Canon EF-70-300 IS USM @ 300mm

Nice to get reasonably close to these buys. Details are good. There is a color cast that I had a hard time identifying until I took the image and corrected in PS. It appears to have a magenta and yellow cast based on the curves adjustment. Happy to share the corrected version if desired.

Nice interaction and begging pose from the juvenile, John.

John: As requested, here is a copy with a color correction applied to render the grackles more accurately. See what you think.

Good action caught here John. Not easy to expose these correctly but you did a good job. :toast:
