	Blackbird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Blackbird or Common Blackbird (Turdus merula) is a European member of the thrush family Turdidae.
		The Blackbird is not related to the North American flbirds, such as Red-winged Blackbird or Brewer's Blackbird, which are Icterids, family Icteridae.
		Blackbird is also the name of a song by The Beatles which features a recording of a flbird singing.

	Lockheed SR-71 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Blackbird was originally not going to have chines - it would look not too different from an enlarged F-104 - but the radar engineers convinced the aerodynamicists to try adding them to a few wind-tunnel models during the design process.
		However, as the Blackbird reaches higher speeds, the initial shock-cone compression makes the core air start out hotter, before being further heated by the compressor and in combustion, therefore less fuel must be added to the combustion chamber in order not to melt the turbine blades immediately downstream.
		The fictional Blackbird's crew capacity and VTOL capability significantly distance it from the factual SR-71.

	Blackbird, Turdus merula
		Except when migrating, flbirds are never really gregarious although considerable numbers may roost together - often among redwing - in shrubberies and dense hedgerows.
		Blackbirds may be found in a wide range of habitats including dense woodland, coastal sand-dunes, farmland, minute marsh carrs and town and city centres.
		There is also evidence from ringing that some flbirds migrate in one winter, but not in another.

	Red-winged Blackbird (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Red-winged Blackbirds are fierce defenders of their nests, harassing hawks, crows, and other large birds that pass over and escorting human intruders through their territories, hovering close and making angry calls.
		This flbird differs from the red-wing in its tendency to breed in extremely dense colonies and its near-total lack of territoriality.
		The Tricolored Blackbird's bill is more pointed and thicker at the base, and the male's epaulets are darker (blood red rather than scarlet) with a white border.

	Lockheed SR-71
		The Blackbird's performance and operational achievements placed it at the pinnacle of aviation technology developments during the Cold War.
		This paint was formulated to absorb radar signals, to radiate some of the tremendous airframe heat generated by air friction, and to camouflage the aircraft against the dark sky at high altitudes.
		Blackbird crews provided important intelligence about the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and its aftermath, and pre- and post-strike imagery of the 1986 raid conducted by American air forces on Libya.

	On "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird"
		The flbird is by no means all – it is surrounded by the vastness of twenty mountains, the autumn winds, the snow – but though only a small part, it is the determining focus of relation.
		It also forms part of a delicately traced visual image that we might imagine as contrasting the dark glint of the flbird's eye with the supposed whiteness of the mountains, a tiny eye point with a vast expanse, and lively and attentive movement (fictive and anatomically impossible though it is) with frigid immobility.
		The various contexts created throughout the "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" might be considered from the romantic point of view as haphazard attempts at defining or identifying the writing subject's relation to an object that is already ambiguous in itself and is a symbol rich in potential for producing hopes and fears.

		Blackbird's design-obsessed gimmickry gives it a rapidly dating sense of boomtime 90s hipsterism.
		By the time I'd finished my endive salad with poached egg and pancetta, seared diver scallops with guanciale, and grilled pork chop with braised pork belly, summer truffles, and figs, my alimentary canal felt like the Bonneville Salt Flats, and the plan to finish with the chocolate semifreddo with waffles and bacon was foiled.
		The salad, scallops, and pig part duo are old favorites at Blackbird, varying seasonally, and just one dangerous path you can take down the extremely rich and rather expensive menu.

		Though the Tricolored Blackbird appears similar to the ubiquitous Red-winged Blackbird, and though the ranges of the two species overlap, they are genetically, behaviorally, and morphologically distinct.
		In the 1930s, the vast majority of Tricolored Blackbird colonies were in freshwater marshes dominated by cattails or bulrushes.
		All Tricolored Blackbirds north of southern California may be considered a single metapopulation, in which breeding trends in localized areas may have effects over the broader metapopulation range.
