Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus is the formal name of the yellow-headed blackbird shown below. We have actually seen these in southern Alberta.

that yellow headed blackbird really stands out.
imagine leaving home for a life on the seas at just two days old!
What a colourful birds you have in Canada. Thank you for all the animals you always show . It is always interesting what other bloggers find when a special letter like X is having its turn. It's a pity I cannot read all the posts.
The day after tomorrow I am leaving for Australia. So I am busy packing and checking my luggage.
Have a great week!

I've never heard of those exxy birds. Leaves the nest after 2 days wow and humans take about 25 years.
My best-bud got a great photo of one of these birds recently! http://ashrunner.blogspot.com/2012/05/camera-critters-215.html
