Location: Spray Fields, Palm Coast

We are a girl and a boy Boat-tailed Grackle
We look different, so that might be a surprise.
But you can tell we are from the same species
When you compare our beaks, feet and eyes

(In addition to having the same beak, feet and eyes, behavior, such as how they feed, can also be a clue as to weather you are looking at 2 birds of the same or different species. If all that fails, check to see if the male gives the female flowers and candy on Valentines day.)
