Abstract

We used playback in the field to test Boat-tailed Grackles (Quiscalus major) for the ability to discriminate local songs from foreign songs. Male grackles responded more strongly to songs recorded at their own colony than to songs recorded at colonies 4-13 km distant. Female grackles showed little response to either local or foreign song.
