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.

Brewer's Sparrow on Bennett Mountain Road east of Mountain Home, Idaho
"Brewer’s Sparrows are at first glance so subtly marked that they’ve been called the “bird without a field mark.” These streaky, gray-brown sparrows are notable for their reliance on sagebrush breeding habitat, and their plumage is elegantly tuned to their muted, gray-green home. They’re the most abundant bird across the vast sagebrush steppe, and their long, trilling songs are a signature sound of the landscape."
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."

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.
