Clear Winter Sky - Boat-tailed Grackle

*[left-double-click for a closer-look - took some positioning!]

Boat-tailed Grackles are large, lanky songbirds with rounded crowns, long legs, and fairly long, pointed bills. Males have very long tails that make up almost half their body length and they typically hold them folded in a V-shape, like the keel of a boat.
The glossy blue-black males are hard to miss as they haul their ridiculously long tails around or display them from marsh grasses or trees. They are so common; Everglades guides nicknamed them; swamp rats. They are all over the Everglades! Fun to observe.
