Males have iridescent blues and black in their plumage with yellow or brown eyes. Females are smaller than males and have dark brown upperparts, pale brown underparts, and yellow eyes.<\/li>\n<li>Some Boat-tailed Grackles migrate although most do not. They can be found along the Gulf Coast from Texas east to Florida and north along the Atlantic Coast to New York. They are usually seen in in salt marshes.<\/li>\n<li>Boat-tailed Grackles eat small fish, snails, aquatic and terrestrial insects, frogs, small reptiles, shrimp, bird eggs, fruits, berries, and seeds.<\/li>\n<li>Boat-tailed Grackles lay 3 to 5 eggs which hatch in 12 days. The females incubate and they are promiscuous, colonial nesters.<\/li>\n<li>Boat-tailed Grackles can live to be more than 13 years of age.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope you enjoy viewing my Boat-tailed Grackle photos. <i class=\"fb-icon-element-1 fb-icon-element fontawesome-icon fa-feather fas circle-no fusion-text-flow\"
