not sure where they saw it, but if i saw it around here, i'd call it as Common Grackle

they do have that amount of brown but it's a play of light type of thing where most of the time they just look like an all-over black bird until the light is striking their plumage at the right angle

 

I did a sky replacement exercise with this old photo from the aughts, but i don't like it now so i'm going to do another round of practice later... i think this was just using the paint bucket instead of dropping in a better sky...

"i'm Big Mad u took the shot before i was ready for my closeup" -- Madder than a Wet Kinglet

 

someone asked about my Mockingbirds, they're here, & for once they do not rule the roost, yesterday i actually saw the Warblers "mob" one of them while hapless birb tries to steal warbler butter from the suet feeder...

so they're fine but they're BIg Mad about this shabby excuse for a southern climate

Oh, we have Madder than a Wet Mockingbird in the snow too

here's my buddy, i'm going to post this picture in a separate post in a bit but i'll also put it here so you can see the difference in proportions

it can get tricky with bird ID from a tight shot because you get no size information but the Mockingbird in life is also substantially larger

"My buddy" Mockingbird has extra white in his tail but you can't see it from this angle

 

it's 13 degrees (!!!!) & all three rings are going at the bird feeder circus in the snow...

as far as i know, this is record-setting cold as well as a record-setting snowfall of 8 inches, at least while i've lived here in this house (34 years) it's never been anywhere near 13 f'n degrees... pretty sure the previous low was 17...

(this photo from yesterday, i'll go out later to try for more)

"FFS, my toes are cold & there's a snowflake on my head & i blame u"--bluebird of crappiness

in fairness that has always been Zuck's stance on women

 

they don't make em like that anymore, i remember reading Durrell's books when i was young & feeling touched by his experiences with animals, which echoed my own experiences that animals had real feelings... something not really widely acknowledged until the 1980s, at least where i lived (US South)

tee hee

i did see a fairy but wasn't able to photograph them (purple-crowned fairy)

 

i don't know that people can always get a fair idea of the size of a birb in a picture but Woodstars are truly tiny...
