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.
there is a hot summer in saxony this year. the barley shines golden in the summer evening sun shortly before harvest begins.
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.

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.
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.

Sand Creek Rd., Idaho
This hardy little sparrow lives in dry sagebrush or at higher elevations and nowhere in between in the American West.
"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."

Males are glossy black all over with a staring yellow eye and a blue sheen on the head grading to greenish iridescence on the body. Females are plainer brown, darkest on the wings and tail, with a dark eye. Immature birds look like washed out, lighter-brown versions of the females.
Brewer’s Blackbirds feed on open ground or underfoot in parks and busy streets. Their long legs give them a halting walk, head jerking with each step almost like a chicken’s. In flocks, Brewer’s Blackbirds rise and fall as they fly. At landing, birds may circle in a slow fluttering flight before settling.
