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.
This is the Female House Sparrow
All of these birds are commonly seen at Lake of the Lilies.

for Saturdays Critters
The male Red Winged Blackbird certainly steals the show, but I enjoyed seeing the females and sparrows as well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I never would have guessed that was a female red winged black bird. It looks so different.
