When I picture it to myself, it does look more like the bill of a red-winged blackbird.Pamela Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167132802880894799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10199452.post-1132317451303171692005-11-18T07:37:00.000-05:002005-11-18T07:37:00.000-05:00John beat me to it, I was going to ask the same th...John beat me to it, I was going to ask the same thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10199452.post-1132267519646952042005-11-17T17:45:00.000-05:002005-11-17T17:45:00.000-05:00How about the bill?

The Brewer's/Rusty blackbirds have a shorter, more conical bill than grackles - more like the red-winged blackbirds, so that difference should help.John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00163297234733313179noreply@blogger.com
