Sage Junction, Idaho
A rather plain and diminutive Spizella sparrow that strongly associates with sagebrush in the Intermountain West. The other sub-species (there are two), the Timberline Sparrow is found near timberline in Canada, Montana and Alaska. This species winters in northern Mexico.
A bird to be seen in the full sun, the male Brewer's Blackbird is a glossy, almost liquid combination of black, midnight blue, and metallic green. As common as we think the black bird is there are so many beautiful varieties that it pays to take a second look.
Brewer’s Blackbirds are social birds that nest in colonies of up to 100 birds. The first females to arrive choose a nest site to suit them, and later arrivals follow suit. Eggs are extremely variable in color and pattern. Some studies suggest the variability helps the eggs match the background pattern of the nest, helping to camouflage them.
After visiting Sitka Sedge Natural Wildlife area, I got in the car and was at the exit, waiting for a break in traffic, when I spotted this Brewer's Blackbird on the ground near the entrance/exit. I grabbed the camera and took yet a few more shots of the wildlife of the Nature area.
Sage Junction, Idaho
A sagebrush obligate species, these inhabit much of the Intermountain U.S.. A sub-species, the Timberline Sparrow, summers and breeds in alpine valleys and does not associate with sage at that time. Both sub-species winter in the Southwestern U.S. and Northern Mexico. Studies unfortunately show that this species has declined in numbers by some 60% since 1961.

"A bird to be seen in the full sun, the male Brewer’s Blackbird is a glossy, almost liquid combination of black, midnight blue, and metallic green. Females are a staid brown, without the male’s bright eye or the female Red-winged Blackbird’s streaks. Common in towns and open habitats of much of the West, you’ll see these long-legged, ground-foraging birds on sidewalks and city parks as well as chuckling in flocks atop shrubs, trees, and reeds."
