Fantastic shots Eric. I especially like the Black-headed grosbeak. Most of these birds I have never seen.

Once I started looking I have many bird photos with black in the name. Here are a few.

I took this picture of a male Yellow-headed Blackbird close to Saskatoon and in post I noticed the ominous shadow in the background.

This Male Brewer's Blackbird in the East Block of Grassland's National Park has such a determined look telling me to go away.

A Black-backed Woodpecker in a local park. They like to strip the back off branches of spruce trees and gather grubs. They sometimes overwinter in Saskatoon.

Thanks for all the "Black-in-the-name" birds, Trent. I am most envious of that black-backed woodpecker.

Great series, Trent. That Brewer's Blackbird should be an extra in the Angry Birds movie.
