It's been a tough week, as we were without power for almost 4 days due to a storm that came through Saturday. Anyway I finally got out yesterday and as luck would have it, didn't find much to photograph. Then I noticed this little guy. Normally all black, this common grackle had some strange coloration on his head.

Joe,

It's possible. They also have the yellow eyes like a common grackle. I'm just not good enough at identifying them to know.

Non-breeding male?

Perhaps? I don't know enough about them to say.
