The song of the Grackles

October 13, 2008, Murphy, Texas: Long Tailed Grackles singing to the rising moon in the Walmart Parking Lot. This street lamp is the tallest structure on the highest ridge in the biggest parking lot in Murphy, therefore the competition for a perch on this spot is fierce from the thousands of birds that gather here at sundown. Or maybe they just had a good day on the stock market.
