| Notes | -OOPS! These birds were not Brewers Blackbirds, as I first identified; they came later in the day to property adjacent to ours and our backyard; I was able to get some shots; they are larger than a Brewers with much more iridescence; looks like the pre-migration wild gatherings are starting; these guys really like Weeping Birches and spruce trees, as do many other species, including the Merlins; also read that the Icterids have a specially- muscled beak that has strong opening capabilities; they use this to spread apart the dirt or grass when they are ground foraging. | |
