An unusual visitor to Vancouver was calling an empty lot in the fancy part of town home for the time being. Some of the locals were interested to know what all of the camera's were for this morning and were surprised to hear that we don't usually see this bird here. Word has it, it has been here in the same location for the last month. Great-tailed Grackles don't usually make it north of California and Arizona and are very common in the sub-tropics and tropics of North and Central America.
