<div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:#000000">I just read a report of a 'boat-tailed grackle' at the Mose Lake Walmart parking lot. The birder is unknown to me. I rather think it is likely a 'great-tailed grackle' or a 'common grackle' but I am off to see for myself. Better to report this than wait. Others may be in the vicinity and wish to try the chase as well.</div>
