As the bird was not one I ever seen before I was trying to reflect on the current wind patterns and will try that thought out with the site link.

The shape was very similiar to a blackbird, but the wings when it flew off were more Tern like, aero dynamic jet plane look.

I know it was a tough request as this is the first time and perhaps the only, I'll get a look at that bird.

Thanks]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20471671 Mon, 12 May 2008 18:47:48 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20469843 PC Doc 54 : »www.whatbird.com/ might be able to help you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20469843 Mon, 12 May 2008 13:13:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20468747 richdelb : You might be describing a "Cat bird". I don't have any shots to share, but perhaps a Google image search of "Catbird" might come up with what you are looking at....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20468747 Mon, 12 May 2008 09:03:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20466838 Kiwi : Almost, missing the blue around the eye and the head to neck was jet black, the body was very grey.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20466838 Sun, 11 May 2008 20:02:17 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20466675 SueS : »/showpic/dimag···3996&1=1

Does it look anything like this?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20466675 Sun, 11 May 2008 19:21:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20466534 Kiwi : I feed the local population and was a wee bit slow in getting a shot off, meaning I saw it, got the camera and it took off!
• Three varieties of Wood Peckers, one permanent resident.
• Several red Cardinals make their home in my backyard.
• Robins, a lot of fun to watch. Breeding with young.
• The usual mass inundated flock of black birds & Starlings.
• Various and sundry small birds, mainly look-alike-Sparrows that have a white line back from their eyes. Never figured out what they actually were either.
• Humming birds.
• Doves, have eight that stay here.

...And the new arrival, has a jet black head and grey body, around the eyes is blue, what is it? Tried to shoot it with the camera, but it was kinda shy and lite out before I could get a shot off. Have never seen this bird before.

Arkansas, perhaps the last round of tornado's brought it in....*Shrug*]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20466534 Sun, 11 May 2008 18:37:42 EDT
