#Male #BrewersBlackbird #wild #bird friend in parking lot. Often mistaken for common grackle. They're in the new world #blackbird family. Named after naturalist & ornithologist Thomas Mayo Brewer. Very friendly birds. I love their #iridescent #feathers 😍 Very social & they nest in flocks of about 100 or more. One of my fave little urban birds

Want a better #birdsite? Try Merlin.

No, Merlin is not a social media, but it is a great #birdapp. It helps identify birds using my own photos; gives list of likely species matches (with most likely atop the list); shows pics of different plumages within each species; keeps track of my life list (of birds ID’d via the app). And more…

From Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and free on App Store.
