A quick story and photo.... AN INTERESTING BIRD

Great-Tailed Grackles’ Googly Eyes Offer a New Glimpse Into Bird Vision

They're the first bird species known to look at two objects simultaneously. - Audubon

I took this photo of a small black bird, which reminded me of boat-tailed grackles but I was not sure. So I took this bit of a photo and fed it to Google Image search and immediately, voila.

I was led to this Audubon Society page about this bird, which it recognized. Apparently, I am not alone in thinking these birds have unusual eyes. (Betty Davis? no, read on, almost there!)

It's a Great-Tailed Grackle.... small and indiscreet the few times I've seen them clearly. But those eyes... Not Davis eyes, but stereo 'chamelion eyes'. Easy to read article, got me to squeeze this into Cyberspace.

Snack time for two Great-tailed Grackles...

Funny how life imitates art... or is it the other way around?

Well, the birds know spring is arriving!
Meanwhile, there are still some dark cold nights, for both birds and humans.
On that cheery note, a general tribute to the cool and clever

Great-tailed Grackle

Blackbird

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
