[Tweeters] Great-tailed Grackle on 14 Nov 21

[B P Bell]

Hi Tweets

 

Gary Bletsch, Kyle and I saw the Great-tailed Grackle this morning at the
farm in Fall City. We were at the end of Neal Rd. on SR203. It was a slow
morning with not a lot of the blackbirds and starlings around. But then,
with Bald Eagles, Golden Eagle, Cooper's Hawk in the vicinity that was not
too surprising.

 

Finally about 10:15 Kyle saw the Grackle come in and perch on the top of one
of the structures. Twice the size of any of the Blackbirds, long tail - it
perched for about a minute and then dropped down into the farm areal. And it
wasn't raining!

 

Much of the Snoqualmie Valley is flooded so you will need to come in from
Duvall or around from Redmond to Fall City.

 

Definitely worth the drive and the time spent looking!

 

Good Birding!
