Observation details
Wow! With even singles scarce in the parish the last several years, a whole flock is spectacular. Almost all males, glossy blue-black without rusty highlights. Females even gray with dark eyes. Shorter, squared off tails than Common Grackles. Too far to appreciate structural details to separate from Rusty (which had a major insurgence on this week’s cold snap) so relying on plumage alone
