Female Great Tailed Grackle

Gathering food for her brood. As I was sitting there, she flew and walked over to where she was only about 15 feet away! She's eating little damsel flies as they emerge from the water at the end of their larval state. I watched 5 molt while I was there and another dozen or so crawl out.

(I'm fairly new to bird watching- did I identify her correctly?)
