Lake of the Lilies...it's not just for the Mute Swans you know.
The lake is home for quite an array of song birds and the big guys like Herons and Egrets.
Today, I will share some current pictures of the little songbirds.
This is a male Red Winged Blackbird...
it has a very loud, distinctive call, that you almost always hear before you see it.
This is the Female Red Winged Blackbird.
I rarely notice them...with their common coloring they do not stand out.
The very common Male House Sparrow.
A bird with beautiful markings that are often overlooked because of it's brown and gray coloring.
This is the Female House Sparrow
All of these birds are commonly seen at Lake of the Lilies.

The male Red Winged Blackbird certainly steals the show, but I enjoyed seeing the females and sparrows as well.
Beautiful photos. I never would have guessed that was a female red winged black bird. It looks so different.
Hello Debbie,
Beautiful captures of the Red-winged Blackbirds and the House Sparrows. Your photos are always a treat to see. Nice visit to the Lake! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and a happy week ahead! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Beautiful photos. That black bird is especially striking.
All so beautiful. I just love birds. They are all so unique and beautiful to me in their own way.
I love that name, Lake of the Lilies. Beautiful bird photos!
Such lovely photographs Debbie.
All the best Jan
Miss Debbie! These bird photographs 📸 🐦 are killer good. Like, really, really good!
We have been seeing several red winged blackbirds recently and the sparrows are always here in abundance.
great pics of them, a few of them look a bit puffed up, I have been enjoying watching the birds around here, they have been chasing each other around a lot lately too :)
Common birds that are often overlooked, great job photographing them!
Great close-ups!
