Well, we saw over four hundred of them around the dairy farms on last year's
Tillamook CBC.

I must not have assigned you to the right areas as the coquille valley CBC as
Brewer's Blackbirds are adime a dozen at the South Jetty. We usually comb there
flocks for a Brown-headed Cowbird or two.

These are the postings that fascinate me most. The Little Stint is for chasers.
I've done many a CBC on the Oregon coast and don't think I've counted a
Brewer's Blackbird yet. Lars

This probably sounds ridiculous to everybody else, but I just now have a very
rare sighting in my back yard: a pair of Brewer's Blackbirds. During my
childhood, there was a sizeable colony of them here on the farm in Lincoln
County, but it disappeared about 1959. Since then the species has been very
rare at this location. I think this is the first time I have seen a pair of
them in close to fifty years, maybe longer.
