Boat Tailed Grackle
It probably works best seen large if you can
l am reasonably confidant that this bird is a Boat Tailed Grackle, certainly it fits the image in my guide to Louisiana birds . There are two other similar grackles but the colour of this bird seems a perfect match for a Boat Tailed.
Obviously if any of my American contacts think I am wrong then please advise me . I noticed the bird when it made its unusual call.
The shot was taken in a boat on Lake Martin in Southern Louisiana and was of course hand held
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED AND SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN JUST GIVING A FAVE
