I cannot help you but Cornell University has a useful bird identification program, Merlin, http://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/

excellent photo for helping ID.

I'd go with:

http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/537/_/Great-tailed_Grackle.aspx

The above site is my favorite for ID. If it don't find it there, I pull out my National Geographic Complete Birds of North America.

If both of the above fail, I ask here

Thank you Morris and Carolyn. Have to go with Great Tailed Grackle. There was several of them messing around in some small pine trees right behind a beach on the Chesapeake Bay in southeast Va. I have never seen them in this area.

This is more likely a boat tailed grackle. They are quite common in the south east, from south Jersey down the coast. A great tailed grackle would be more common in the south west and in Mexico.

Thanks every one for taking the time to help with this ID. These birds were having a heck of a time at the beach.

It looks like a female boat tailed grackle. I posted one a few days back. The male is blackish.

Agreed. I saw lots of long tailed grackles in Costa Rica. They are found in Mexico and further south, where they are the dominant corvids.interestingly, there are no crows in Central and South America.
