Grackle in Oregon, but which one?
A non-birder friend sent me a photo of this bird he said is at his place somewhere between Lapine and Klamath Falls, Oregon. It looks to me like a Grackle, not a Brewer's Blackbird, because the bill is too long and the head is too blue, etc. But not having seen the bird myself, I don't have a clear idea of its size. I saw thousands of Common Grackles during the years I spent living in the eastern U.S., and this bird looks like a Common to me. But I have not seen many Great-tailed Grackles, so maybe this is a Great-tail, even though the tail is not so great. I'm interested in hearing other's opinions, or definite i.d. explanations.

Looks like a common Grackle to me! I am headed that way next week. I'll have to keep me eyes open.
