I looked through your birding blog a bit, but I don't feel like joining vox to be able to comment there. Are you taking those bird pictures yourself or getting them elsewhere to illustrate what you've seen? If you're seeing grackles with yellow eyes, I don't think they should be Boat-tailed Grackles. I'm pretty sure you should have dark-eyed Boat-tails in Lousiana.
Nope, just pulling the pictures from the web to illustrate. Didn't see the eyes close up enough on the one I actually saw. Suppose it could have been a Great-tailed Grackle, but looked more like Boat-tail based on what I read. Course, I'm mostly new to this :)
