Hidden Colors

It was a grackle and starling day here at the feeders.  It's as if the message gets out that the supply is good, and they swarm in.  Then they disappear for days.  I made a couple of minor edits with a little increased luminance in Lightroom, but for the most part this is what I saw.  The way these seemingly black birds can light up is one of the wonders of nature.

I'm about to head over to the Tiny Tuesday entries for this week.  I haven't peeked at all, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you have come up with.  I'm sure I'll be uttering a few "wows" along the way.  Thanks for participating.  I'll make the tough decisions and post my favorites by Friday.
