Nicaraguan Grackles are relatively small but long-tailed blackbirds. They are restricted to southwestern Nicaraguan and far northern Costa Rica. Our intrepid leader, Dennis Paulson, was the first to discover Costa Rican populations in 1966. These grackles prefer lake-shores and cattle pastures. Their numbers appear to be increasing. We saw a small flock of these birds on 12 July 2017 on our Rio Frio, Costa Rica, boat trip.
