Hi everyone!
   I heard from Bobbie Ireland today and she would like to get together on Tuesday around noon for lunch or coffee. Not sure where yet, she will be calling me back about that.  I know you all work but if you can possibly make it let me know. I will post more info as I get it.

Grackle

From the Cornell lab of Ornithology
Common Grackles are blackbirds that look like they've been slightly stretched. They're taller and longer tailed than a typical blackbird, with a longer, more tapered bill and glossy-iridescent bodies. Grackles walk around lawns and fields on their long legs or gather in noisy groups high in trees, typically evergreens. They eat many crops (notably corn) and nearly anything else as well, including garbage. In flight their long tails trail behind them, sometimes folded down the middle into a shallow V shape.

   Larry and Cleo were leaving as I sent my last tweet out. They were going to check the Brighton location where an unbanded female was seen by him and Jeanne in recent days. Shortly after they departed Beauty did too! I decided to come home for a breakfast break! 

Is it this video?
