Female Great-tailed Grackles at Lake Murray

Here are some female Great-tailed Grackles at Lake Murray in San Diego.
Great-tailed Grackles are one of the fastest-expanding species in North America. In 1900, their territory stopped in southern Texas, but since the 1960s, they’ve spread into the Great Plains and West by following irrigated agriculture and urban development. Great-tailed Grackles and Boat-tailed Grackles have been considered the same species in the past, but they’re currently understood as separate but closely related species.
