    Black bird in Sylvan Lake, SD, USA

    Hi everyone, I'm looking through my photos from last summer in the central US - this bird I'm having trouble identifying. I'm using Merlin and the Sibley Birds West book, and my closest match for now is a female Brewer's Blackbird but I'm not totally convinced (partly because the species is...

    Sort of a lifer, but not really

    I've seen probably thousands of Brewer's Blackbirds, which I consider parking lot birds (I wonder what draws them there), but this was the first time I saw a chick. That is, I'm *assuming* this chick is a BRBL, since two adult BRBL's were flying close overhead in a rather agitated state every...

    or is this one of the kids? Maybe a son with just the first hints of his shiny suit?

    Next day would have been my father's 100th birthday. Brother, sister-in-law, and I marked the day with a picnic at Doran Park, including reading some chapters from my fathers autobiography. This Brewer's was in the iceplant near where we picnicked.

    I've heard that washing one's hair with beer gives a good sheen. Perhaps that's what this brewer does ...?

  20. Testing the water

    Testing the water

    Not that he was planning on taking a swim, but maybe a quick bath in the shallows ...? Rohnert Park is hardly a birding hot spot. It's a massive "planned community" built on one immense farm that two bachelor brother farmers sold to a developer back in the late 1950's. The development...

    Me and my shadow

    Now you see her there behind him. In the earlier shot I posted only her beak was visible. Now back to finishing up the Xmas preparations. A few more truffles to roll out and coat with chocolate, a batch of meringues to whip up and bake, and the traditional Dec. 23 pre-dinner: rice porridge...
  22. Female Brewer's

    Female Brewer's

    She doesn't have the male's iridescent blue head. One could say she's more sober. Perhaps she doesn't taste-test the brew quite as often as he does. ;)

    Somethin' brewin'

    Pair of Brewer's blackbirds hunkering down out of the fog and wind at Bodega Head. Sorry I haven't been able to browse and comment today. May not have time tomorrow either. Today I flew to Brussels, then waited 'til the next flight via Copenhagen landed as well in case my suitcase was on that...

    Time for some birds again (although there will be some landscapes from this day later). While the laundry machine was running, I checked out the birds around the campground. Lots of Brewer's Blackbirds and American Robins (red-breasted thrushes, actually). I've already shared the dud shots taken...
  25. Weaponized Brewer's?

    Weaponized Brewer's?

    Sitting in a lecture hall at the moment, listening to a lecture on cyberwar. Somehow this shot seemed the most appropriate one to post. I'm not sure what these quills are about. They reminded me of the spurs on Southern Lapwings, but they could also just be new feathers (leucistic ones?) emerging.
