Brewer's Blackbird

[calzephyr]

It's always easy to get pictures of common birds :-D I went down to the creek near our house on Friday and saw a large bird of prey (either a redtail or Cooper's hawk), red winged black birds, a duck and a robin. I have been trying to get a good photo of a robin for years. This one was so close...and also backlit. Some day! We used to get a lot of robins closer to the house, but over the past few years a bunch of crows have moved in.
