Brewer's Blackbird, Male
Bodega Bay, CA - Bodega Bay Trailhead - The Brewer's Blackbird [Euphagus Cyanocephalus] is a medium-sized New World blackbird. Adult males have black plumage with an iridescent purple head and neck and glossy bluish-green highlights on the rest of the body. The feet and legs are black and the eye is bright yellow. The female is brownish-grey with slight hints of the male's iridescence. The female's eye is dark brown. Overall, they resemble the eastern member of the same genus, the rusty blackbird; however, the Brewer's blackbird has a shorter bill and the male's head is iridescent purple. [Wiki]
