eBird shows 20-25 Puget Soundsville grackle reports 1975-2022. Never more than one. Most include a photo.

I've seen a Great-tailed Grackle here, once near Stanwood. And I lived 65 years on the East Coast, where Grackles are very common, so I know the difference between grackles & other black-colored birds. there are a few here, but they are very rare. whether the reported birds are grackles, I have no idea as I haven't gone to look for them.

Has anyone else seen the grackles? The closest around here would be Brewer's Blackbirds .

My understanding is that Common Grackles are only located east of the Rocky Mountains. We have Starlings out here, which are somewhat similar, but not the same species.
