Good afternoon all!! Had a difficult time differentiating this bird from a Brewers due to the falling snow, lack of sunlight, etc., but pretty sure it is a Rusty blackbird-long slender bill, yellow-eyed black bird. If I’m wrong, it’s a Brewers, either of which would be FOY! 😊 Only one individual amongst white throated sparrows, numerous cardinals, house sparrows and juncos. Videos on Flickr Also uploaded videos of female green winged teal (Swope Park), Adult and Immature Herring gulls from the 19th at Longview lake as well as common mergansers, coots, pied billed grebe, and a very cool immature coopers (it hunts the feeders and finally got video!!! https://www.flickr.com/photos/ksuedmeyer/ [cid:<image001.jpg...>] Wm.
