    Nice shots. I ain't 100% on this but it looks like a female grackle to me.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Looks like a Great-Tailed Grackle according to my Sibley's guide.
    Looking at the map it's the only one native to your area.
    Thus I'm 99% sure that's what it is.

    We have the Common and the Boat-Tail here.
