Bye, Bye Blackbird

Not only have the geese returned WAAY too early, but the redwing blackbirds and robins!
I have hundreds hanging around our bird feeders, so I am putting a ton of sunflower seeds on the ground for them.
They spook very easily, over the silliest reasons such as a blowing leaf, and take flight immediately as a flock. So consequently, this photo was taken through the window (as you can tell) during a snow storm.
While I have not seen the movie yet, I gather Peggy Lee's version of the song is in the song track of King Kong.

Beautiful -- I like how in sync they are and the splashes of red against the black and white

Here's another motion shot, Laura @la_photographic . These birds are definitely moving faster than the geese were!

[Paul]

This has a surreal quality to it that I'm really liking 👍

Great sense of movement. Also, the almost b&w with flashed of red is really effective

[Margo Sayer]

VML the variety of 'stills' and all the wings in different stages of movement.

[Pat Knowles]

This is a very fascinating photo Wendy, almost a dance!

[Vera]

This one would be also great for the weekly theme - movement! theme-movement

[Henri Russell]

I'm sure they can eat a lot of seed. I love how you have captured bits of red on the blackbirds.

@vera365
Thank you, Vera! I will tag it that way as well!

[Chris Johnson]

So many of them! Beautiful!! Really like how you can still see the red on their wings.

[Stephanie]

I love this!! You really get a sense of movement in all the different wing shapes, plus I really like all those flashes of red and yellow, fave. Bless you for feeding them, poor things, I bet they really appreciate it. Peggy Lee'' voice is like silk, so smooth and polished.

Love Pat Knowles comment about this ... fascinating, almost a dance! fav

[Jenfurj]

I think it is lovely how the wing tips have the sense of movement all at the same time. Fav

[Brett]

What a perfect shot and I really like the flash of red in their wings!

[Renee]

Great - I love the call of redwinged blackbirds - hope their return means an early summer for you.
