Euphagus cyanocephalus
Male black bird with yellow eyes. The female can be seen at my other spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/889...
Beach in Oceanside, California
Tail too short for grackle and range all wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiscalus_q... clearly shows they are not on west coast as I mentioned originally. Blackbird.
crow looks totally different and So cal doesn't have grackles - at least not usually. The yellow eye is typical of male blackbird
Difficult to tell the size from the photos but I am guessing they are American crows.
