Observation details
Continuing stakeout bird seen at 41.292395, -124.056741, at the southwest corner of the Orick RV Park, buffering the road. Overall black bird, larger than Brewer's Blackbird, with glossy, multicolored coloration. Spent most of its time in the large tree just south of the map coordinate or displaying on the wire. Display was like trying to cough up a hairball. We actually saw the bird copulate with a female Brewer's Blackbird at one point. Kellen even peeped a BRBL cloaca afterwards 😎
