MacMe Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 First time seeing a bird like this. I think this is an immature Grackle based on coloring and behavior but Cornell app, allaboutbirds.org and audubon.org don't have much info. Also, both Great- and Boat-tailed over lap here in Corpus Christi, but I've only seen Great-tailed on my school's campus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Juvenile Great-taileds have darker eyes; this looks fine for a molting first-year female Great-tailed. During the breeding season, Boat-taileds are usually in or close to salt marshes; Great-taileds are much more catholic in their habitat selection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas Martins are more likely to be Lutheran. Martin? Luther? Get it?? Hey, what's with the big hook? Get that thing away from me!
