Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable When I got to work today, there was a voice mail from a coworker. There = was a dead bird caught in one of the crab pots stored out back. The bird = is in the freezer. So, I looked at it and was baffled. It's about 9.5 = inches long. Definitely and icterid and in summer plumage. I took it = outside to look at the irridescence. The head is greenish, the shoulders = are purplish, and the wings are greenish. The only bird I can come up with = is Brewer's Blackbird. The eye is frosted so is of no use. Any ideas?
