Brewer's Blackbird

 

 Location: June 25, 1805, in the Louisiana Purchase is where we found this night bird, (weird i no) the reason i call it this is because of its dark features that stand out so much, or in my opinion. The description was a little hard for me to get on this bird because when we spotted it, it was pretty dark making it hard to see the bird!

 Description: Robin-size bird. Male is solid black with purplish blue iridescent head and yellow eyes that are very beautiful.  Interestingly the female is gray with dark eyes. I took an estimate on the length: 8-10 in (20-25 cm).

 Sounds: The night bird seems to have several different kind of noises that i've noticed which are gurgles, squawks, and whistles.
 Unique Fact: A very social species, it mixes not only with its own kind but also with other species such as the red-winged blackbird and the brown-headed cowbird.
