- A group of Brewer's Blackbirds are called a; Keg.
- They were named after the ornithologist Thomas Mayo Brewer.
- Blackbirds are know as sexually dimorphic, meaning the male plumage is completely different then the female.
- The song is well known and considered a favorite by most. It likes to sing after a rain.
- They eat insets, earth worms, seeds and fruit.
- They build a cup shaped nest.
- Their bill is black and the eyes are white with black pupil.
This year I am challenging my grand kids and their friends to a "Big Year". During 2013 we will be observing, identifying, and recording all our sightings of birds.
