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.
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.
