The common grackle (Quiscalus quiscula) is a large icterid found in large numbers through much of North America. First described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus, the common grackle has three subspecies. Adult common grackles have a long and dark bill, pale yellow eyes, and a long tail. Adults often have an iridescent appearance on their head, especially males. Common grackles are found in much of North America east of the Rocky Mountains.
By the way, this bird lives in my backyard with its mate.

Common Funnel Mushroom - Clitocybe gibba is interesting to photograph because of its thin, translucent cap. In the right light, it almost looks as if the cap itself is glowing with light.
Captured with a 40-image stack. Helicon Focus will show the EXIF data after a stack but Zerene doesn't unless you pay for an upgrade. The f/13 was an error in set-up. I did re-shoot but liked the water droplets on this version. At f/11 the ISO was 11,400 but with Z9 it doesn't matter.

Common Chuckwallas are found in eastern California, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada south to Baja California and Sonora. We usually see them soaking up the warm sunshine on the red rock of northern Arizona.

Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis) were indeed a common sight on our 9 day cruise around the Hebrides. On a number of occasions we spotted them distantly and they headed straight for our boat in order to bow-ride. For some reason they seem to enjoy swimming on the pressure wave in front of boats, even though our boat only travelled at a stately 8 knots. They were very difficult to photograph well when they were bow-riding as you were looking straight down on them, but it was a great experience as they were so close I could hear them making a wonderful clicking noise like you hear in Flipper films. Although Flipper was a Bottlenose Dolphin so presumably had a different sound.
As mentioned in the previous post, the fog was super thick at the St Mary's Ecological Reserve in Newfoundland the day we visited. This common murre (Uria aalge) kindly landed 3m from the viewing area, allowing a clean close up portrait.
At the time I thought the murres were black on white. The image reveals their head color to be more brown-black. This is their breeding plumage.
I don't recall what was in the background to create that bluish-grey color. My guess is that it appears to be solid because of the thick fog.
Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate!
