Brewer's Blackbird - Stump Lake, BC

If you know Brewer' Blackbirds at all, you will know that this poster comes at the end of the metallic song they have and ends with a ka-chink. This particular male was trying to impress several females on around the pull out collecting grain that was left there. The bird may be fairly boring from a distance, but with the angle just right, the purples and blue-greens come out very well. This bird's Species name in latin, Euphagus cyanocephalus, translates loosely to blue-headed true-throat.
