By a pond, Large bird with Mother bird, I do not recall seeing this bird before in Florida.
Thank You! I think it is a Boat tail Grackle! This was a hard one for me to ID! Thanks!!
Boat-Tailed Grackle is a tentative ID. The coloring also resembles the Brown Headed Cowbird, but the size and beak shape is not quite right for that and they are only seen here in the winter. I'd love to know if anyone else agrees with Boat-Tailed Grackle, or has a better suggestion.
He's a fascinating fellow for sure!
Hope you get your ID.
If you don't, try it over at Birdforum. net
They'll be able to help you in the ID forum for sure :)
