Grackle
KC Foggin

Grackle (Quiscalus major)

I cannot make up my mind whether this is a Boat-tailed or Common. You can't see the full length of its tail in this shot but when it landed it appeared very long.

I'm gonna go with Boat-tailed because it just appears more like the ones I just looked over.

Sunning iridescence here, KC ... brilliantly captured ... methinks, he, too, is not overly worried about the name, LOL ...
