This is an immature male (top) and juvenile (bottom). Not in the blackbird family, this is a thrush in the same genus as the American Robin. Like the American Robin, this species is often seen foraging on lawns, stopping abruptly and cocking its head from side to side detecting prey. Evidence suggests that they find worms primarily by seeing them rather than by hearing them as previously thought. Numerous subspecies have been named. Western European birds are assigned to the nominate race characterized by glossy black overall coloration, dark legs and bright orange bill and eyering in adult males. HBW and IOC call this species the "Common Blackbird." Canon PowerShot SX50 HS.
