A black grackle stands near railroad tracks, eyeing surroundings.
A grackle is seen standing in a shady area between a tree and a small railroad track. The grackle is walking towards the background of the image and faces the right, while its tail faces the left, touching the gravel below it. The bird is all black, with soft yellow eyes and a pointed black beak. The area around the tree trunk has tall grass and a stone-paved path behind it. The foreground shows the small track made up of four by four wood cross posts and two metal tracks. The sunlight comes down in several small spots between the tree leaves and limbs.
