Field Notes

Description:

Slender crow-like bird.

Habitat:

Near the sea off Florida. It was fishing.

Notes:

This photo was taken by by cousin Mr Prasenjit Dattaroy and he would like an ID, please. I thought it was a Grackle. But I do not think Grackles fish for food.

Thank you mauna Kunzah...I first saw a Grackle in December 2019! So not very familiar with their habits...the ones I saw were residents at a very posh hotel...bathed in swimming pools and feasted on sugar sachets and cut fruits at our breakfast tables...great to learn they fish as well. THANKS!!!!
I agree with you. I think it’s a boat-tailed grackle. Grackles do fish! :) http://content.ebird.org/ebird/wp-content/uploads/sites/55/BTGRfem.jpg https://sora.unm.edu/sites/default/files/journals/auk/v093n03/p0640-p0642.pdf
