Brewer's Blackbird 1 Three birds, a male and two females were observed feeding in a plowed field. The females were grayish with some slight green glossing to the back. They both had dark eyes. The male was iridescent with a greenish gloss to the back. Eyes on the male were pale. Similar in size and shape to rusty blackbird, except with a longer tail. The dark eyed females were diagnostic. I have seen numerous Brewer's blackbirds.
