The Red Winged Black Bird...

I love the Red Winged Black Bird.
They are all over this area but I never see them in my yard,
or at my feeders.
When we went to Cattus Island Park I saw a lot of them,
and had great opportunities to photograph them.

Here are some of my favorite photographs...






I love their coloring and they are so beautiful in flight!!

I see a lot of redwings in the deeper reserves, but none anywhere near the city. I wonder why. I love all the black bird varieties. They are cool birds.

Isn't that a Beatles song?

They are quite lovely.They are also very common hereunto so much at the feeders, but all over in the countryside.

These birds are wonderful creatures. They have a unique song too. There are lots of them among the cattails here.

I just love this Blackbird Debbie - the splash of colours on its wing is glorious.
The Blackbirds here are plain colour but they do reward us with aerating the soil and, of course, its beautiful song in the night.

We have them at our feeders here, they drive away all the little birds :( Love the picture of him by the water :)

Wow, these are great photos of the Red winged black birds. The black and red are so brilliant. You are so talented at getting expert shots of birds.
