The Marbled Duck or Marbled Teal (Marmaronetta angustirostris).
The Great-Tailed Grackle or Mexican Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) is a highly social North and South American medium-sized songbird.  The males are glossy black and iridescent and the females are brown and drab colored.  Although the grackle is black, it is not a blackbird.  It is sometimes mistaken for a crow but is not a member of that family either.  Great-tailed grackles originally came from the tropical lowlands of Central and South America but over the past 140 years have spread into North America.  Grackles forage in pastures, wetlands and mangroves for a wide variety of food.  They eat larvae, insects, nestlings, worms, tadpoles, fish and eggs.  They remove parasites from cattle and eat fruits and grains.  Grackles are highly intelligent birds that can solve complex problems to get food.  The male grackle has a distinctive noisy call.  They communally roost in trees at night and during the breeding season they build a nest in the trees.  This female grackle was photographed at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
Black-crested Bulbul in Tampaton Temple Chonburi Thailand
Tot: 45-50mm, Ab 30-37mm, Hw 33-38mm.\nIdentification:\nVery similar to O. cancellatum, with which it is found especially in the south-east, and as far west as France. However, it is sleeker, paler and more contrasting. Named for the contrasting white appendages of both sexes.\nBehavior:\nLike O. cancellatum, male often sits on open ground near the water, making very fast, low flights over the water.\nOccurrence:\nDistribution is patchy, but the species is generally not uncommon, stretching to China and Japan.\nHabitat: Open Ponds and Lakes.\nFlight Season: From the end of May to mid-September.\n\nThis nice Skimmer is photographed during a Vacation in France in May 1990. Scanned from a slide.
