I saw the Great-tailed Grackle again today at 9:15am and 2:30pm at the intersection of Valleyway and Molter in Liberty Lake. Mid summer last year it's tail was very bedraggled. Today, I got a good look at it and it is very full and healthy looking. It made many different calls while I was there. As I was watching it, it flew low across the street to the west down about 3 houses into trees next to the houses.
