Brewers Blackbird
This Brewer's Blackbird female perched on a dry fennel stalk above a blackberry patch near Cesar Chavez Park in Berkeley. The males of the species are solid black with iridescent highlights in bright sun, and contrasting pale yellow eyes. The female is plain brownish/grayish with black eyes. These birds are big insect eaters, and the blackberry patch where she perched attracted a lot of bugs and was a draw for other bug-eating birds like Barn Swallows and Black Phoebes.

Pretty Pied Pigeon
Among the small flock of Rock Pigeons in the park this morning was this unusually colored individual. Pigeon fanciers would probably term this a "Checkered" or "Pied" variety. I thought it was quite pretty.
Rock Pigeons
Usually only one or two, rarely four Rock Pigeons are active in Cesar Chavez Park. This afternoon there was a flock of sixteen, almost as if it were a park in the city.
