Showing off

One of the only red-winged blackbirds I’ve seen this year. It was nice of him to pose for me before flying away.

A unique take on Washington, posted earlier:

He looks striking in your photo. There were a lot up here, but they left earlier than normal. V

It’s sure keeping an eye on you. I could send you some of my backyard red-winged black birds. They’re piggy at the feeders.

Indeed he is showing off that red epaulette, like some commander-in-chief.

None around here at the moment, though plenty in springtime. Nice to be reminded of them.

That was nice of him. One species that I see quite a bit but never landing anywhere I can get a shot of one. Great shot of this one, Helen. ~BV~
