Below is the link to my new Bird Table News Forum. I have just started it so we can chat birds, bird care and bird feeding
Bird feeding and bird watching can be a solitary hobby so we can get together here – from all over the world and chat.
In a flock of 100 to 150 blackbirds in my backyard I saw
10 to 15 blackbirds with white tailfeathers, these birds took off away from me with the sunshine on the top side of the tails. Some had completely white tails, while others had only 2 feathers oneach side of the tail white, this was quite a sight !!!
Hi, this is a lot of birds with white tail feathers! Where abouts do you live.
I wrote about some of the reasons blackbirds have white tail feathers –

But I wonder if this is something different.
Im in southern Ontario Canada and have seen this black bird with it looks like one white tail feather. I have looked in books and can not identify this bird.
