Was it really large like a Black Vulture... I think they have lighter legs.

The other day I saw what appeared to be a crow or some type of large black bird that was solid black and had white legs and feet. I have been unable to find any information on this bird. I would be appreciative to gather more information on this bird. Thanks! I live in Marietta, Cobb County, Georgia near Atlanta.

Black Rosy-Finch would be a life bird and definitely is a cool black bird!!

They are flocking to Sandia Crest in New Mexico as we speak. Ken (Remembering New Jersey) I’ll put a good word in for the Black Rosy-Finch.

I love anhingas (although I've never seen one, personally. I'd thought they were primarily S. American residents.) Did you leave red-winged blackbirds off on purpose? I learned today that they may be the most prolific birds in the US. Black vultures are pretty cool, too (although I'd put turkey vulture above them, too.) Awesome list!

They were so fun to watch, so social with each other! Mon@rch - These are so fun to write, we are thinking of doing a few more!
