Observation details
Grackle with long dark wedge shaped tail, dark wings and warm brown back and head and face. The eye color was pale yellow-white. The bill was long and dark and did not appear broad. I saw dark surrounding the eye. The warm tones to the upperparts and to a lesser extent the pale eye as well as the lack of distinct face pattern confuses the identity of this bird for me. I do think the large size and long bill favor great-tailed. The bird foraged along riverbank at spot where Lake Creek empties into Eagle River. The area is dense willow.
