Observation details

Feeding with Brewer’s Blackbirds at the edge of the water to the east south east of the Orchard Point boat basin parking lot. Similar to Brewer's Blackbird in appearance, but clearly a somewhat larger bird. Had a slightly longer, stouter bill. Yellow eye. All black bird with bronze coloration on upper back and front of wings. I didn't have my zoom lens with me, so I tried using my iPhone. In the photo, the bird is in the lower left corner in the debris near the shore. Its head is the rounded item jutting up from the debris at a slightly downward slant from left to right, just to the right of the leftmost whitish nearly vertical line in the water. An enlarged view of the picture shows the bronze coloration in the appropriate location on the otherwise black bird.
