Because many of you have been debating over whether or not the boat-tailed grackle in Upper Marlboro should be reported, I thought I should fill you in on the full details I noted to Phil Davis. The boat-tailed grackle was seen while driving along the road and no field notes were taken. It was identified by being noticably larger than company of grackles it was with. We did not even stop because we were on an exit ramp and thought nothing of it at the time. Sorry, but I don't believe there is sufficient evidence to document it. Technically it could have been a Great-tailed Grackle. So it should be noted as large grackle sp. Just wanted to clear that up for everyone. Matt Hafner Bel Air, MD
