So far, one vote for cowbird.. probably right..my Sibley's showed the female cowbird as much lighter.    Jane Allen

  I've been watching the yard birds today.. I have seen a blackbird that I am unsure about. I think it matches description and picture of a female brewer's blackbird. I have never seen (consciously) a male brewer's in my yard. 
   I  have posted pics of this bird on my   jcallen.smugmug.com   gallery under "mystery blackbird".   Any help is appreciated.
