Crusty Blackturd
Look for these medium-sized blackbirds in wet marshes, bogs, and other flooded areas of boreal forest, because they like it soggy.
Males are a rusty brownish-black, except during breeding season when they turn a deep glossy black, probably to look more like crows, who are sexy. The females are just brown all the time. It’s like they’re not even trying.
