Red-winged Blackbird Mama

This is not as cute as a feeding series but it's behavior I hadn't seen before.
I thought the poop sack was just picked up off the nest not taken directly from the baby's butt.
Here the mother is coaxing the sack out.


Now she pulls on the sack.


Now she's ready to fly off and drop it in the creek.
I'll try for a less gross series next time.

this sort of bird behaviour photography is so interesting and in many ways more so than oerfect static pics; keep it up

WOW Linda! This is one terrific sharp behavioural series. Great images and good documentation. Like you I thought that they simply picked the sacks up from the nest once it had been deposited.
