This is a male Great-tailed Grackle. Many times it is
erroneously referred to as a black bird. They are very noisy and you can find them all over the area. They frequent parking lots looking for food and 'handouts' from people. They are not that afraid of people and will get pretty close if they feel like they can get some food.
These birds make a really cool dance when they are trying to get the attention of the females to mate.
This is a female Great-tailed Grackle. She was looking for something to eat. They hang out in huge groups. Very vocal birds and in the summer they are very loud.
