A pair of Rusty Blackbirds in bright sun under my feeders this morning
lead me to believe I was mistaken in my idenification yesterday of a
Brewer's Blackbird.
It's ironic that while we require a photograph to confirm rare bird
sightings, had I submitted the best of yesterday's photos a lively
debate may have ensued.
I believe the conclusion would have been "possible- not confirmed".
Fortunately the presence of the Rustys today in much better light
leaves me certain that
the blackbird yesterday was most likely a Rusty as well.
