I took these shots at Wildwood Lake in Harrisburg, PA (USA) in mid-March. I think the bird in the marsh (two shots) is a Rusty Blackbird male in breeding plumage based on location and the dull matte black color and I think the one on the branch may be a Common Grackle due to the long tail and hints of purple/blue on the wings, but I\'d like some help with these.
