26. Common Grackle

Date          August 10, 2002
Location     Scioto River, Dublin, OH




This is another example of listing a bird after the first time it was observed. I'm pretty sure that I first identified it in my back yard. My wife suggested that it was a Brewer's Blackbird (as we looked through my field guide together), but the range wasn't right, and the look wasn't quite right either.

In this sighting, I was able to see for the first time some of the iridescence because the sun was shining just right on them.
