Re: [cobirds] Mexican grack

Indeed, but had to look that up.  Fascinating.   TIL that Mexican (Great-tailed) Grackles were likely introduced to N. America by the Aztecs - at least according to wikipedia.

Aren't Mexican and great tailed grackles one in the same? Or is the Mexican a specific variant (similar to Mexican ducks and mallards until recently)?

I think I saw a Mexican grackle in the parking lot of Wendy's in Limon at 12:15 p.m.  Saturday. Anyone concur?  I've only ever seen one in a picture. My pix aren't real good 
b/c I was eating lunch when I realized there was something wonky about his tail and hadda scramble to find camera b/c he was unhappy about us being there,  and looked like he was planning to leave (he was and he did). In the 2nd pic where he's yelling at us, he looks like an avenging angel, doesn't he? Thanks in advance. - Marcia Wade
