I will try to get a Video today, it always flys very low like the other Blackbird and never gets to far away from the other Blackbird [:)] i have not seen it eating worms yet like the other Blackbirds, some times it goes quite fast @ low altitude and in a split second like that you think its a seagull that has just flashed past, ! in this pic the bird looks bigger than it actually is, Oh and many thanks for your expert Knowledge [:)] ? What will happen if it mates and has young ones [:)] ? a full
I've been reading Birder's World for a couple of years, and I finally got around to delving into the forums. What a wealth of knowledge! My husband and I have been birding for several years, and seem to be getting more and more involved, so any destination tips we can pick up help us in our growing obsession. Our favorite winter birding spot is Plum Island, Newburyport , MA and Salisbury State Park in Salisbury, MA. The Maine coast is always fun in the winter if you're interested in sea birds when
Andy, That would make the bird either a Least SP or Western SP (w/ the decurved bill). I'm still not sure about all the field marks, but maybe it's a Western beginning the transition to breeding plumage. What do you think, guys? BTW, Andy, I forgot to say your pics are very good. Thanks for sharing them.
Mojoe, I've attached the un-cropped photo of #3 bird. It was taken from about 20 ft away with my 500mm lens. The bird looked small compared to the nearby Dowitcher, I guess about 6 inches or less in size. I'm interested to find out the ID as much as anyone and would be glad to provide any additional info. Andy.
The female pileated, after a long absence, has been returning to the suet. I saw her 3 times today, the 3rd time she brought the male with her again. At one time they were in the exact same spot on the tree but on opposite sides of the trunk....I missed the shot.
I am a wildlife carver and am currently carving a Bluejay in a challenge position (tail raised and open. I cannot find photos of the undertail portion of the feathers to paint them effectively. Does anyone have such photos or a resource for any.[?][^]
That explains it, then You DO have a leucistic Blackbird, a relative of our American Robins, which incidentally tend to have a lot of leucistic individuals. Most of us here, are in the U.S. or Canada, and that's what threw me off at first. I saw the picture and thought it looked like a U.K. Blackbird. We have several DIFFERENT kinds of Blackbirds here. Leucistc means pale or more often PARTIALLY albino and that's what you have there!. This is the first leucistic U.K. bird I have seen. My ancestors
