Well, I'm assuming it's a grackle. If anyone knows of a black bird with purplish necks and long beaks, let me know. Just a tiny little water color i found on a fragment of thick paper. 1960's. By Esther McGraw.
Well, someone suggested it could be a grackle, which makes sense, considering that grackles in Ohio have iridescent, purplish coloring on their backs, and slimmer bodies than crows and ravens.
