Red Winged Blackbirds.


Okay, here are the pictures of the Red Winged Blackbirds that came to the yard on PFW Week 2!




Well, some more Blackbirds showed up today so I guess the wait for the ever elusive RW Blackbird is over!

Hey Connor,

I meant to ask, who makes that really cool looking flat-bed feeder with the unusual roof?

AND ... the Red-winged guys are back at my place, too! I'll never forget how, when they arrived early this year (Feb or March?), when I'd first begun looking at birds, I was just SURE they were Tri-colored Blackbirds. LOL

This time of year they seem to 'hide the red'; perhaps so they can eat in peace, huh?

I think the feeder is made by Countryside Culture in Grants Pass Oregon, and the roof is a separate rain cover.
I don't know who makes the cover.

I don't know why but the RW Blackbirds do seem to have less red this time of year than in the Summer.
