Brewer's Blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus) (1) - Reported Jun 03, 2023 07:20 by michael walter - Dune Rd. Suffolk, NY, Suffolk, New York - Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=40.794,-72.65&ll=40.794,-72.65 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S140352969 - Comments: "Female. Matched exactly the picture in Sibley's. Bird was in NE corner of Dockers dirt parking lot about 3' from the shrubbery foraging on the ground at 7:30am. I quickly ruled out Catbird [no red undertake], Grackle [color and size], female Redwing [ no streaking], and all the cowbirds. I don't take pictures on the theory if you wanted to see a bird, get off the couch, turn off the TV and go outside. I have previously IDed this bird in California.. Fifty-six years birding experience confirms this bird in my opinion." -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
