If You Want To Fly

If you want to fly
give up everything
that weighs you down.
...Toni Morrison

This bird was staring me down and sitting on my friend's fence in Cincinnati. I think it is a Brewer's Blackbird. That is my guess.

I don't remember ever seeing blackbirds in the yard. Great pic! I knew that fence looked familiar.
