Roughly Red-Winged Blackbird sized, maybe a bit rounder. I'm guessing it's a female blackbird or cowbird of some sort. I would have thought I could find some kind of name based on the beak being yellow on the bottom and black on the top, but I didn't. :( It should be too early in the season for it to be any kind of juvenile.

Hey Liam, thanks for the suggestion, but it was like two or three times as big as a sparrow. It was a good sized bird.
