CLOSED: Mystery Bird for me

Lakeland, FL

Sorry no photo, but .....

I was at a stop light (so no camera) in south florida. I swore it was two grackles (boattail - Female) in the street BUT they both had:

Yellow Legs
Yellow beaks (large, thick like a grackle)
and large yellow rings (for a bird) around their eyes.

Sound familiar to anyone?

Sandusky, OH

Just a wild guess...maybe it was Myna's but they would not have a large tail like a Grackle.

Merritt Island, FL(Zone 10a)

Agree with Myna...try Common Myna-they are well established where you are.

Thank you so much - that's the bird. I mentioned the boat tail because that's the one I always see, this bird did not have it's tail (Out) so it wasn't full like the boat tail..... the females around here tend to have a straighter tail then the males, if that makes sense.


So Common Myna - Thanks
