While conducting a Breeding Bird Survey in Rice Co. on 7-4-05, I saw what =
I believe was a great-tailed grackle.  I had never seen one before, but =
the bird caught my eye as something out of the ordinary.  It was a very =
large grackle with a very long, keel-shaped tail.  The head and neck were =
much longer and more slender than a common grackle; the head appeared to =
be somewhat "flat-topped" instead of rounded.
=20
The bird was located on a telephone wire 0.5 mile south of the intersection=
 of Fairbanks Ave. and 135th St. W in Rice Co. (NE of Mazaska Lake).  =
Driving directions:  Take Hwy. 21 west of Faribault to Mazaska Lake/Sheilds=
ville.  About 1 mile past Shieldsville, turn right (N) on Halstad Ave. =
(Co. Rd. 62).  Within 0.25 mi., turn right on Groveland Trail (Co. Rd. =
61).  You will be driving N/NE.  When the road turns due east, it turns =
into 135th St. W (Groveland Trail continues N, but stay on 135th St.).  =
Travel 1 mi. on 135th St. to the intersection of Fairbanks Ave.  Travel =
0.5 mi. S on Fairbanks Ave. to the grackle location.
