To see Boat-tailed Grackles, head to the southeastern or Gulf Coast and look for long-tailed black birds around marsh edges, boat launches, and parks. They often walk around boldly on long legs with their tails cocked up, searching for food. It is also common to see Boat-tailed Grackles perched on roadside utility wires. If you still can't find one, head to a fast food restaurant in a beach town and scout around for discarded French fries, you're almost sure to find grackles there. This shot was a challenge as I was shooting very high exposures to catch the motion of him whipping around.
