Boat-Tailed Grackle(Female)
Quiscalus major
26.2425, -80.2141
Field Notes
Description:
Boat-tailed Grackles are large, lanky songbirds with rounded crowns, long legs, and fairly long, pointed bills. Females are dark brown above and russet below.
Habitat:
Boat-tailed Grackles are a strictly coastal species through most of their range; however, they live across much of the Florida peninsula, often well away from the immediate coast. This spotting is in my backyard about twelve miles from the beach.
Notes:
These scrappy birds are supreme omnivores, feeding on everything from seeds and human food scraps to crustaceans scavenged from the shoreline. They come to my backyard and feed on rice a place there for the Muscovy ducks.
