Hello All,
I am not at all sure if this is unusual for the area of not, but while
driving north on I-95 yesterday to visit family in Cecil County, I spotted
a Boat-tailed Grackle perched in a tree along the road 1 mile south of the
exit to Havre de Grace. Looking on a map, I notice that this is not far
from the Chesapeake Bay, but it struck me that seeing a BT Grackle there
seemed out of place. Disregard this if it is a usual occurrence there.
When I first spotted it from a distance, I thought it must be a crow due
to its size. However, when we came upon it, its oversize tail and
structure was quite evident, and there were several Common Grackles at
other points along the road for comparison.
Thanks,
Jay Keller |
