Thanks for all the great feedback on the photos. Consensus was that the
bird in question was a female boat-tailed grackle. Thanks again to
everyone who responded.
The OysterCatcher was identified via the bands as one that was tagged as
a nestling on Fisherman's Island in 2007. I did not know there was so
much out there on OC's.

Thanks again for all the emails. I appreciate the feedback.
