It has been so fun this last week or so to have multiple Red-Winged blackbirds at our feeder at one time. Mostly they have been amiably sharing the sunflower buffet. Only twice have I seen one flare it's wing enough to better see the colors. I'm encouraged that Spring is surely on its way now that these favorite birds of mine have returned!
Many thanks for your visits, comments, and favs. All are always so appreciated!
@happypat We have regular blackbirds, too, Pat! I like the sounds of the redwings! My neighbor doesn't like them, though. Lol These birds have sort of a "screeching" sound but also a less grating to the ear sound. I like both! Our neighbor's treetops are often full of these birds. ☺️
You are so right, Barb! When I hear or see the first red-winged blackbird, I know that spring has really arrived. This is a great shot to showcase the colours of its wing / shoulders! Fav
@eudora I know, Diane! Normally we only see them sitting on cattails in marshy areas. Although they have come to the feeder occasionally in years past, this year has been surprising! We hear them in the treetops in our neighbor's yard quite often but don't usually experience them right at our feeder. So enjoyable!
