Thanks Dennis, Yes they are from last summer's tour. This species is very aggressive and some birders are concerned that it is displacing other species. These were shot in Monteverde, a cloud forest habitat where I for one was surprised to see them. This pic was taken from the parking lot of our hotel; they haven't invaded the forest.

Wow, these Grackles look quite a bit larger than the ones we are used to. Nice captures.

Thanks Gary, they may be a bit bigger. He was displaying up a storm, fun to watch. You can see how he has his tail feathers splayed out.
