Shiny cowbird

molothrus bonariensis

Description:

I had seen this bird flying around school several times and could finally take a picture of it. At the beginning I was quite sure that it was a Shiny cowbird (what we call a Tordo común) because there are several and alll around the country; the female also matched the colouring however it seemed so blue that it made me wonder if it isn´t a yellow - legged thrush but I can´t see the legs that well and the females look more as the shiny cowbird.

Yes!!!!! I saw both of them - the male and the female - at Saint George´s School =) =) Their nest is there somewhere because I have seen them several days in a row. When I see them again, I´ll call you. I have noticed that during breaktime they are sometimes on the outside of the football field. Greetings
