🌎 Brewer's Blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus) The Brewer's Blackbird is a medium-sized songbird native to North America. Appearance: Males (pictured) are glossy black with a striking yellow eye; in sunlight, their plumage reveals a purple-blue sheen on the head and a greenish tint on the body. Females are a subtle, unstreaked greyish-brown with dark eyes. Distribution: They are widespread across central and western North America, often expanding eastward. They inhabit diverse open areas, from mountain meadows and marshes to urban parking lots. Behaviour: Highly social, they forage in large flocks and walk with a distinctive head-bobbing motion. Conservation status: Near Threatened (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: While some are permanent residents, others are "West-bound" migrants. Instead of flying south, some Canadian populations fly west to the milder coasts of British Columbia to wait out the winter.
