Mixing sociably with the starlings pictured yesterday were a couple of kinds of blackbird, Red Winged and Brewer's. As is often the case, the males bear the most distinguishing marks of the species so I am not certain of my identification here. However, I think this is a female Brewer's Blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus). This species is named after the American Ornithologist, Thomas Mayo Brewer.

He looks so proud! Lovely photo.
The detail is amazing! What are the red globes in the tree? Apples?
Thanks all for your kind comments. JoJo, those cheerful red globes are rose hips.
