heme42 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Please confirm Brewer's blackbirds for these. There were several nearby rusty blackbirds. Today, Northeast Alabama. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipperatl Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I might be wrong, but first one looks like Grackle, and the hints of brown on the back of the bottom two point to Rusty Blackbird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) What points to the first bird being a Rusty? The bill looks pretty thick to me. Edited February 27 by Avery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s something going on with the leaf behind the bill that makes it look bigger and longer than it is. The bill is the same proportions as the other two birds.
