Brewers Blackbirds used to be seen seasonally (usually winter) around the Burien P&R Ride in southwest King County. I don't recall seeing any for the past two years; they are supposedly abundant in the valley areas of Kent, Renton and Auburn. Perhaps they are being impacted by recent virus diseases.
Good birding, me
