Hi everyone!
My name is Corina Logan and I am in Santa Barbara, CA from September through December each year studying great-tailed grackles. I'm having difficulty finding the color-banded grackles right now. I know they are sporadically at Leadbetter Park, but they seem to no longer be at the Wharf or the marina or the Zoo. I'd love to hear if anyone has seen banded grackles and where/when they were seen. Please email me your sightings at <gtgrackle...>
In case you are interested, there is a list of the grackles I banded in Santa Barbara in 2024 and 2025, what their color bands are, and some information about each individual at http://corinalogan.com/grackle.html.
I am a biologist based out of UCSB and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, studying grackle behavioral flexibility as it relates to their rapid geographic range expansion and to their ability to thrive in human-modified environments (info and videos at my website: www.CorinaLogan.com ( http://www.CorinaLogan.com ) ).
Thank you so much!
Corina
