Oklahoma State Bird
I hate to ask without a photo but I saw a bird while in Tulsa in a parking lot that got my attention. It was black all over, narrow built, skinny like, and had a super long tail say about 10 inches or so long, longer then a common grackle. The bird carried the tail up. I did not see any yellow in eyes or anything else around eyes, just a black bird about twice the size of a blue jay with a super long tail that was average not broad in width. Any help is appreciated.
 
Thank you, never saw the yellow eyes but I did focus more on tail because so unusual and the trim narrow body. I'll consider it a Great Tailed and appreciate the ID. I'll be in that area on April 1st, maybe it visits the parking lot regularly. Taking my camera with me this time. :)
