A blackbird sings from a branch along the Third Street Promenade on Tuesday, February 26, 2008. The Blackbird is not migratory but they do move around searching out new and more plentiful sources of food. They are sometimes seen in large flocks with other blackbirds. It is one of those rare species that is able to take advantage of urbanization. They especially like the large expanses of lawn and parking lots. The blackbird is possibly the most numerous N. America land bird. Blackbirds are most often associated with agricultural fields. They can be found in other open areas as well, including parks, campgrounds, parking lots, wetlands, and suburban and urban settings.
