Field Notes

Notes:

Looking at the tail and from what I can pick up from the eye color, I think this is a Boat-tailed Grackle. However, I am very unsure and would like someone to confirm my ID. I'm not sure if it is possible with the lighting provided. Thank you!

Thank you so much for helping confirm the ID of this one, Malcolm—a new one for me!
