GRACKLE HEN AT LAKE SHIP PARK


While at a local park the other day, I took these photo's of what I believe are a Female Boat Tailed Grackle. Unfortunately, I could not get close enough for a really good photograph.


According to Cornell University's Lab Of Ornithology, the female boat tail  grackle (Quiscalus major) can easily be mistaken for another species of bird.


http://www.enature.com says that the female Boat Tailed Grackle will average about twelve to thirteen inches in length with brown wings and a paler brown breast.
