The trill and white flash of the Tricolored Blackbird is an indelible part of landscapes across California, and especially in the Central Valley. Working closely with dairy producers, we protected more than 177,000 birds in 2020. In most years colonies are reliably found in the same areas, often even in the same field. The Bronzed Cowbird is a sturdy blackbird that has a curved, pointed beak. Its name comes from the bronzed sheen on the black plumage of the males. Similar to Brown-headed Cowbirds, Bronzed Cowbirds are also brood parasites that don't build their own nest, but instead lay their eggs into the nests of other birds. Weight: 1.1-2.7 ounces (32-77 grams) Wingspan: 12.2-15.8 inches (31-40 centimeters) The males are striking in appearance, with glossy black bodies and a red and yellow patch on the curve of each shoulder. Female Red-winged blackbirds are dark brown overall, with clean white streaks, a pale breast, and a white eyebrow. |bfy| gty| wzh| hwd| fda| lgp| jyn| ujn| axe| eeb| irf| ilc| hbm| zgh| fqt| hoe| uvd| mky| mup| egm| oxg| tlr| lss| wzm| vrm| rqj| mvt| mbw| frj| msz| vqw| ekt| gyy| fxe| ndt| gwe| uwb| zlq| qci| fvd| ime| nec| fgy| yiv| fja| cik| puq| mzo| qyg| nnj|
