Early this morning, I noticed my favourite Grackle was back, Pye, who is leucistic. Pye is extremely touchy in the presence of a camera, so it’s not easy getting a photo. I do know how to get him to show up though, Pye has a serious weakness for any type of baked goods, so I baited the tray with muffin and waited. He finally showed, and hasn’t become more tolerant of shutter noise. Click for full size.
