Jerry Converse sent me a fine photo of the Common Grackle he and Sandy had
at their house in Grand Coulee, WA, on 21 May of this year; it seems to be
a male. The photo will go in the files of the Washington Bird Records
Committee, and the record will be voted on (little doubt of the outcome) at
the meeting in November.
