Not positive about the bird ID. Indigo Bunting or Grackle.
From Florida, early spring.

Yep, needed that. It was sharpened, but not aggressively enough.
thanks again, Karen.

Very nice original and AuntiPode's rework adds even more.

At least from where I grew up, southeastern PA, doesn't look like a grackle...both in color and I don't recall that prominent a forehead (if birds even have foreheads?)...grackles were more like mini-crows. But then I am not an ornithologist.

Bird has been ID'ed by those in the know on the Nature Forum.
And the answer is....

Boat-Tailed Grackle.
