| How to find: |
Listed as a common permanent resident this species is not as numerous as the
[Red-winged or Yellow-headed Blackbirds]. Seems to be more urban where it
occurs in city parks, shopping centers on sidewalks and parking lots as well
as agricultural areas. Look for it at the Sam's Club parking lot in Provo,
or any of the aforementioned agricultural localities. ~ Merrill Webb |
