[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This montage is an example of the type of posturing that I have seen these grackles display to drive off competitors. The bird on the right is trying to frighten off another bird (not visible) and in the left hand picture you see it straightening up and preparing to puff out its chest, which it does as shown in the picture on the right.
