Brown Kure Beach?

I did a little google search for you of bird + brown. It looks like the [i]Brown Kure Beach but I cant be sure.[/i]

Hold it. I think that is just the name of the picture and the picture taken AT Kure Beach. hahahaah. Let me look again to see if I can find a name.

Ok I think I got it. Boat-tailed Grackle Look that up and see if it looks like a close match?

I took this shot in Naples Florida. It should be very common bird.

Scary. I had the same thought before I clicked on the thread. Not just the same general idea, but literally "Fred."

I find it interesting that the male is solid black and the female is almost a light brown. Not so much that the female is brown, but that males usually have all the flashy color in the bird world. I guess I find it interesting that his showy color is black. My kind of bird!
