Backyard Birding

 Red winged Blackbird---He was trilling mightily, singing his heart out and who showed up but a trio of female Red winged Blackbirds.
 His harem.  Aren't they pretty too.
 The little Pine Siskin was all alone and munching happily.
 The female Downy Woodpecker and.....I knew it  and was reminded of my forgetfulness.  Thanks....
 The Male Downy Woodpecker..
 The tiny Chestnut-backed Chickadee---Cute!

I really like your picture of the red-winged blackbird. Your photo of his harem probably explains why he was singing so lustfully.

Proof that females cannot resist a crooner! (What sound like a shrill cry to our ears must sound all together different to a female red-winged blackbird.)

I love to see the different birds that you have in your area. I'm listening to a Grackle...not my favorite by a long shot. He's taking a bath in the bird feeder and splashing out all the water.

Kudos to you! What a wonderful series. And now I can truthfully say you're for the birds!

Why is it that the female of the species is so dull and drab when it comes to red-winged blackbirds? I dunno.

It's nice that you provide food for all this little critters and that they pose so nicely for your camera.

By the way, does Bob have horns like Bob the goat? Hmmmm?

Love your birdie pictures, Mary Beth... Our Red-winged Blackbirds don't ever come near to the feeders here... Wish they did!!!!

We have Downy's --but the Hairy's won't come to the feeders... Beautiful birds.

Thanks!!!
Hugs,
Betsy

Great shots of your backyard birds! I think the female Red-winged Blackbirds are prettier than the males myself. The Chickadee is definitely cute but are you sure your woodies aren't Downy Woodpeckers? I see a black spot on the outer tail feathers of the male and they both have fairly small beaks.

Great collection of yardbirds. I especially love the chestnut chickadee and the pine siskin.
