Boat-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus major major) male.

Today will be my last post for a few weeks. I will be back on line tonight but my wife and I are headed to Panama for a few weeks and we leave in the morning. It is not a birding trip per se but I can not go anywhere without birding and photographing (lol). Stay safe and keep your cameras clicking!
