Most, if not all of those birds were blackbirds, not starlings. This is what a starling looks like. Correctly identifying your target is part of the game.db

Boy Dave, I think everyone of those was a blackbird. I didn't see starling one in there. ![:harhar1[1]:](http://www.californiapredatorsclub.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smiley_turkey_pop_up_log.gif)

Actually, to be more precise and scientific, it should be properly addressed as "Euphagus cyanocphalus."

Some were (Euphagus cyanocephalus) but I'd don't think they were all Brewers.

I agree with you, John. they could have been other species of female "black" birds. The video is poor res. and their could have even been a grackle amongst them.Some were (Euphagus cyanocephalus) but I'd don't think they were all Brewers.

Yep Dave, I did see a grackle and maybe a cowbird. I agree with the female brewers too.

sparrows are legal to kill right? As a kid I would kill a lot and give them to my cat.

Sounds discriminatory to me!Other sparrows should have equal rights!Only English sparrows are legal to kill.
STAND and FIGHT!

Here's the English Sparrow(also called House Sparrow). They are introduced and they aren't really a sparrow, but a weaver finch. Some types of weaver finches build tremendous colonies in Africa. They are very gregarious.db
