Grackle on the Rocks

This boat-tailed grackle (Quiscalus major) was hunting along the bayou in the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge, located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana

“When you smell saltwater on the East Coast, it’s time to look out for Boat-tailed Grackles. The glossy blue-black males are hard to miss as they haul their ridiculously long tails around or display from marsh grasses or telephone wires. The rich, dark-brown females are half the size of males and look almost like a different species. Boat-tailed Grackles take advantage of human activity along our increasingly developed coast, scavenging trash and hanging out in busy urban areas away from predators.” - allaboutbirds.org
