Brewer's Blackbird

This sweet little bird looks like a Brewer's Blackbird, from what I can tell. I love the bright eye!

See 'http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Brewers_Blackbird/' for more information. Another blackbird close to this is the Rusty Blackbird, but it looks like the bill is different. Here is what 'All About Birds' says about the Brewer's Blackbird: "Most birds fly south for the winter, but a small number of Brewer’s Blackbirds fly west – leaving the frigid Canadian prairies for the milder coastal regions of British Columbia and Washington." I would assume that they also reach Oregon.

Around here they are referred to as "Parking Lot Birds" - LOL. We see them lots, but I enjoy seeing them too. Only the males have that glorious yellow eye! :) Fine shot, Vern.
