It's pretty rare to see one of these birds on the Mendonoma coast, but Gail Jackson spotted this Yellow-headed Blackbird in the parking lot of Surf Supermarket.

Their call is described on allaboutbirds.org: Males sing a few musical notes followed by a screeching buzz, rather like a heavy door swinging on a very rusty metal hinge. You can hear it at this link - it's pretty funny to hear: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Yellow-headed_Blackbird/sounds

Thanks to Gail for allowing me to share her photo with you here. We had fog this morning but it has given way to blue skies and very mild temps.
