Field Notes

Description:

Stunning Great-tailed grackle perched atop a fence post in the desert. Love these birds. They have quite the personalities. Fun to watch.

Habitat:

Trans-Pecos shrubby desert.

Notes:

This was a bit unusual sighting for me because these birds are very common in our city center but I had not seen one so far out in the desert before.
