And I'm Off...

Certainly not the best picture I've taken, yikes!  However, it is pretty cool how the camera caught the red from the wings of this Red-winged Black bird.  Looks like he's sporting a red hat.

Mora Feathered Visitors

The warmer weather has marked the return of the Red-Winged Blackbirds.

These two males where, at first, just fine enjoying the sunflower seeds.  However, it didn't take long for the two to start posturing, flaring out their wings and trying to knock each other off the feeder.

The males are a pretty birds with the red and yellow shoulder patches on their wings.  They usually visit in groups which tend to chase off the smaller song birds but they're welcome just the same.
