Nice shot. Probably was one of those false grackles anyway, lots of them are really starlings disguising themselves as grackles to keep people from shooting them. Good job penetrating the diabolical plot and getting one anyway. In years past I used to spend more time than I like to think about finding shorts in an aerial communication cable at Kotzebue, Alaska. The Eskimo kids like to shoot birds off the cable with .22s and a lot of them tended to shoot too low. Lots of fun finding .22 holes in a 55 pair lead shielded cable 30' above the ground in a strong wind. I did get some use out of the damaged sections, melted the lead off and made bullets out of it.
