        Boat-tailed Grackle is not a records committee bird, at least from
St. Mary's County. In addition, we had five records in the county during
the Breeding Bird Atlas, one of them a confirmed breeding record. The
species is uncommon but regular in the lower Bay and irregular along the
western shore of the Bay north to Anne Arundel County.
