[Tweeters] Boat-tailed Grackle?

That is typical for inexperienced birders. We will see soon enough as I am headed that way in the next hour.

More likely a buff or larger brewers blackbird without knowing the birder and/or seeing photos or having detailed notes why it’s not a brewers blackbird. 

 

Not that it isn’t a grackle, but brewers blackbirds can be confused for grackles.

 

Thanks

I just read a report of a 'boat-tailed grackle' at the Mose Lake Walmart parking lot. The birder is unknown to me. I rather think it is likely a 'great-tailed grackle'  or a 'common grackle' but I am off to see for myself. Better to report this than wait. Others may be in the vicinity and wish to try the chase as well.
