Just returned from the Eastern Sierras and Death Valley. While at Death Valley I enjoyed watching an opportunistic Brewer's Blackbird. He worked the curb of a parking lot, and flew to each car that entered the lot. He then fluttered back and forth, along the front bumper of the car...picking off road-killed insects. This guy definitely had a slick system, and only had to wait for the bugs to come to him! Behaviorism never ceases to amaze me, I guess... Wondering if anyone else has observed this sort of bird behavior ? Ty Smedes [email protected] Ty Smedes Nature Photography 4732 72nd Street Urbandale Iowa 50322-1148 phone: 515-270-9086
