Davis has two common types of blackbirds. The Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) can be found near water and marshy areas like the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area and any pond with tall grasses surrounding it. Also try North Area Pond West Area Pond and Davis Wetlands.
The Brewer's Blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus) is the "side of the road" blackbird often seen in grocery store parking lots. The male can be identified by the overall glossy sheen and a bright yellow iris. The female is drab brown.
