Henry K 3 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I friend recently sent me this photo. It was taken in a parking lot in Livermore, CA. He says what stood out were the white spots on it's head. About the size of a jay. Any thoughts? It looks like a Brewer's Blackbird to me, but I have never seen white spots on the head like that. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IKLland 1,261 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 leucistic Brewers blackbird. A leucistic bird has white patches on its body. Brewers also always like parking lots. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Henry K 3 Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 Thanks guys. It is always good to learn something new. I will keep an eye out for them. I assume that these birds are quite uncommon, since I have yet to see one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
