Hello, I am hoping you can help me identify a bird. About a month ago a whole flock of birds landed in my yard. They were around for about a day and a half and I have not seen them since. ( live in NW Missouri) At first glance I thougt they were black birds, but at closer look no. They were very dark in color almost black, more dark streaks of brown than black. About the size of a robin yet, did not stand tall like a robin. I have looked at the different variations of black birds/crow but have not been able to identify these. For the day they were here they ate right along side my robins, black birds would have chased them away.
