GRANDE UCCELLO! ...This guy is like a caretaker of the clouds,
but it must have been his day off.
We have the so-called "Red-Winged Blackbird"
here in Arizona. It would be great to grow
some wings, so you could ALWAYS fly above the
clouds!!! (Sigla e commovente di cielo?)
Perhaps this Blackbird found a half-filled
bottle of wine on the ground, and had to drink his fill of the wine on his break-time!!!
Salud ... (Larry from the arid faraway land of AZ)

Re: GRANDE UCCELLO! ...Hi Larry I see your comment after 2 hours in a traffic jam, Now I really envy the freedom of this little guy and I will drink at his health! PS: red-winged blackbird? It looks like everything turns to red in the majesty of Arizona! Cheers Marco.

Surely......this is an Alpine Chough (Pyrrhocorax graculus), not a Blackbird (Turdus merula).
Nice shot though!

Re: Surely...Thanks for the correction... and also for the vote.
"Cornacchia", that's how we usually call them here, blackbirds in fact are much smaller. The beak of this has a softer shape in respect to those of the other choughs, but may be it's just an impression. Cheers. Marco.

Re: Surely...Actually, I knew it wasn't a blackbird all
along. Congratulations to Dan! Perhaps he
should receive a bottle of wine for his
intensive knowledge of birds!!! (Salud!!!)
