Not to butt in or anything :lol: but that beautiful blackbird is the same as our American Robin. It is not related to our blackbirds at all (sound familiar? I know I've made this same speal here before :wink: ) That is why it has the orange bill, and is such a pretty feller! I wish we had the black varieties here as well. Great picture, Sam!
