Title: Brewer's Blackbirds?
Post by: cairnstone on November 17, 2014, 08:27:59 AM

I checked out Cornell's Ontario Feeder Watch camera this morning (Manitouwadge) and took this screenshot. Are these Brewer's Blackbirds? There are no reports of Brewer's Blackbirds (ever) anywhere near Manitouwadge on eBird.

This is a great live camera to check out. Always lots of Evening and Pine Grosbeaks. Ruffed Grouse are frequent too. http://cams.allaboutbirds.org/channel/3 ... Watch_Cam/ (http://cams.allaboutbirds.org/channel/38/FeederWatch_Cam/)

I think those are common grackles.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the bill seems pretty large for a Brewer's Blackbird. They seemed small when I was watching them, but then again there was nothing to compare them to on a camera 1100km away.
