Have never seen one before so looked it up. Heaven knows I'm not that great on bird id's but it says that the female Rusty has a yellow eye. It could be that is is a juvenile. The female Brewer's has a dark eye. Something to think about.
I was leaning toward a boat-tailed or great-tailed grackle but I got confused in the Peterson guide about the eye color. I think it's not a rusty blackbird because the eyes are dark. But that's as far as I could get.
Not much help...
Nice pictures though Leedra. I find myself drawn to what others might call drab or colorless birds (ie: turkey vultures and sparrows)
Hi Leedra, How about that Lynne? She is becoming a first rate birder! I also believe it is a grackle. More than likely a Boat-tailed; I think Great-tailed would not be found on the east coast very often. Hap in New Hope

I am a Christian wife, mother and grandmother. I have 2 grown married children, 5 grandsons, and 2 granddaughters. I have been a photographer over 40 years, receiving my first camera when I was 12 or 13 years old. I am always passionate about the craft that I am currently involved in. My husband tolerates my passions quite well, whether it is my photography, stained glass or knitting. I started digital photography in 2007, and started selling my photography at that time. I began selling my knitting in 2009, and needle felting in 2010. I began designing knit patterns in 2009, but did not begin selling them until 2011. I also enjoy flower gardening, birding and x-stitch. Leedra's Photos For Fun sometimes shows these other interest. Photography By Leedra is always my photography, but it is not posted as often as Leedra's Photos For Fun. Heirloom Goods blog is about what is going on at Heirloom Goods, not just my creations, it sometimes includes Jimmy's creations.

What a cool looking bird, love the name maybe because my hubby's nickname is Rusty!
My first thought was a catbird, but when I googles it I decided it probably isn't.
Great shots! I haven't seen one of these before.

This is a beautiful bird...love the rusty browns and blacks of his feathers!
The bird looks a little cranky - but cute!
Looks a little like some kind of Grackle maybe.. When I was at Tybee Island, there were Grackle's all over the place. Great Pictures!!!
Leedra: No help here but they are neat photos.
Hi Leedra,
How about that Lynne? She is
becoming a first rate birder!
I also believe it is a grackle.
More than likely a Boat-tailed;
I think Great-tailed would not
be found on the east coast very
often.

I concur with Lynne and Anonymous that it is a beautiful female boat-tailed grackle. Nicely captured at that!
Congrats on your lifer!
Leedra,
The bird in the first picture looks really mad!!!
He is a pretty little thing.
