Media notes
This male on right was pecking and chasing a male Brown Headed Cowbird out from under the first story covered structure with the yellow steel support beams before flying to a similar structure to the right where it perched next to an aluminum light preening. Females left and center.
Observation details
Continuing. We were able to pick out at least 1 M, 2 F. Under cover in the shade most of the time making for difficult id and photos. Male popped out in the sun once and we saw a completely black bird appearing shiny irridiscent purple/blue in light, pointy bill, black eye. Females warm dark brown all over. Per Stokes, thinner bill and pale dark eyeline sets her apart from female Brown-headed Cowbird.
