Hi birders,

This morning Amy & I found 2 individuals.  Both were males. Long blackbird with glossy plumage showing iridescent blue about the head, thick-based bill, eye like Brewer’s. Long, curved tail. One was moving along the far shore on the east side, so not too far away. Then we saw another on the near shore; we had to make sure it wasn’t the other bird that had moved. This bird was a better view, it was making its way westwards along the near shore. Both birds flew short distances now and again. 

I see no previous sightings of this species at Blacks.

Happy birding,

Amy Bechtel & John Shortis.
