Agelaius cyanopus
We see these birds close to our ponds and lagunas usually in the reeds. Â They are common at our reserve.
The male is glossy black all over, around 18cm in size, and has a longish pointed bill.
The female is quite different and has streaked yellow underparts with brown and rufous upperparts and brown tail.
They have a pleasant sounding call and are relatively confiding.
