Thank you, Jane, for posting this report--and for supporting it with photos!
In New York, Boat-tailed Grackle is very rare away from the coast, and this is a very notable record.

Saw what I believe is a boat-tailed grackle at the west end of the Meer (flying from the little island) on Saturday afternoon. Agressive and chatty and larger than regular grackles. Photos here don't quite capture the width of the tail, but it was quite broad in flight. http://rossbirds.blogspot.com/ Jane F.
