When I was in Wilmington, NC, yesterday, I kept seeing this brown bird hear these black birds, which I thought were crows until I heard one sing. Beautiful song, definitely not a crow. Turns out, the black bird is the male common grackle and the brown bird is the female common grackle. They don't look so common to me, as I've never seen them before. Maybe they like the ocean, as they are common in NC's Outer Banks.
