He is very similar, I'm not sure if your blackbirds have yellow eyes like this guy. His plumage also has an iridescent sheen to it, very sleek looking.

I was going to say the same Bjs. A crow like blackbird Paul. He looks quite a character.

He loves to show off and knows everybody is watching him. Actually, Linda, I don't know enough about these birds or crows to make a comparison. These are much more streamlined and slender with yellow eye-rings and live near water. They seem like cleaner birds with a sweeter song and don't eat carrion or raid the garbage.

Long time since I studied our blackbird close up but yes i am fairly sure it has a yellow eye,the female is brown.
