[cayugabirds-l] Oddly colored red-winged blackbird

I had an oddly colored red-winged blackbird at my feeder today. Head, breast, and back black like an adult male. Red and yellow epaulets. BUT - the black breast ends in a pretty clear line, and below that line, the breast is a streaky salmon color. There's also an additional thin white bar on

[cayugabirds-l] Question about "blackbirds."

Here's something I wonder about every spring, when the big mixed flocks of grackles, blackbirds, cowbirds, and starlings show up: Why do all our black passerines (with the exception of crows and ravens) hang out together? There aren't any small black birds who DON'T join these big flocks, are

[cayugabirds-l] Raven and goat

While I was doing chores this morning (outside of Mecklenburg) I saw a wonderful interaction between a raven and my goat. I feed the crows, and it's not uncommon for our resident ravens to drop in and have a snack. This morning, as I was filling water buckets, I heard an odd, bell-like voice.
