Brewer's Blackbird - El Moro, CO

During a recent road trip, we stopped at a rest stop in El Moro, Colorado and found a handful of these metallic purple and green blackbirds. They were searching the grass for insects. Brewer's are very comfortable around humans and can be seen in a great many locations where we have left crumbs around for snacking on. While the males sport the iridescent colors, the females are a dull brown.
