Red-winged Blackbirds


A flock of Red-winged Blackbirds visited recently. I rarely see them in my backyard, so this was a special treat. I rushed out and filled this tray with some sunflower and millet when I saw them trying to hang on my tube feeders akwardly.



They have a pleasing call.


A naughty Starling was trying to get some food too. Shoo!




This Mourning Dove wanted to see what all the commotion was about.





Have a great weekend!
