The red wings are back and ravaging my bird feeders. I wish they knew better how to share with other birds! The announce they are coming in to the feeders from far away, scaring everyone else away.
They are very striking, aren't they?!!! I used to see them all the time when I lived on Galveston Island. Living in central Houston, I don't see them at all. I miss them! Happy Critter Day!
We have tons of them here too. They seem to share quite well with the other birds though. That's a terrific shot of the female, I'm not seeing too many of them.
Wonderful shots of these beautiful birds! I have some living down by the pond, but I can't seem to get close enough for a really good shot like yours. Maybe some day!
It is a shame they are so loud! I do think they are pretty birds, love the colors on their wings.. Great shots. Thank you for sharing your post with my critter party.. Have a happy day.
I like these birds, but they never like me. I run into them all the time by our garden, which is next to Bro O's pond. They scold me when I get too close.
Thanks for visiting my little corner of the world. I hope you enjoyed your stay here. Please leave a comment before you leave so I can visit your blog.
Ka-ree! After the Canada Geese they are are most common summer bird in my neighbourhood.
ReplyDeleteWhat original birds. This colorful patch on the wings is adorable.
ReplyDeleteGreetings :)
Oh the male is absolutely beautiful, and so are your photos! But bad they scare all the others away! :/
ReplyDelete:)
unfortunately a not so good side to some of the birds who frequent our gardens ... very photogenic none the less
ReplyDeleteI rarely see them around home. They are abundant at nearby lakes though, and I love to spot the flash of red in the reeds. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteI think the hummingbird also does the same thing. They don't allow other birds near the bird feeder.
Beautiful markings on that male bird!
ReplyDeleteThey are ferocious when it comes to defending their nest. Good shots!

ReplyDeleteThe female certainly looks different from the male. Her markings are pretty.
ReplyDeleteso pretty sitting on the post... our blackbirds are extremely loud..
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!
ReplyDeletewe still have quite a few hanging here! wish they'd move north to your feeders! :)

ReplyDeleteWe don't have red winged black birds here in the city, but just saw one - only one - on a country drive. We used to see them by the thousands.
ReplyDeleteNice images.
Hi EG That blackbird shot on that pole is really lovely. If you didn't put food out for them you would probably not get these great shots!
ReplyDeleteI see them along the railway tracks near us but hear them from far away!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of these beautiful birds! I have some living down by the pond, but I can't seem to get close enough for a really good shot like yours. Maybe some day!
ReplyDeleteI just posted a wee vid of red-wings!

We are having the same problem the cowbirds, another member of the blackbird family. Pesky critters! Stealing food from our cardinals!
ReplyDeleteThat first shot is awesome.
ReplyDeleteDearest
ReplyDeleteOh, your picture of Red Wings is wonderful; the contrast of male and female is great♡♡♡
So sorry for my belated comment, wishing you are having wonderful weekend.
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
And yet they look so innocent. They should learn to share.
ReplyDeleteNice looking birds.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful.I don't see them at the feeder,but I guess that's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful, though naughty.

ReplyDeleteBut who could turn these beautiful guys (and gals) away !?
ReplyDeleteI've always loved these birds...never realized what interesting patterns the female has in their feathers! Nice shots!
