Blackbird Sitting In A Tree

 

This handsome fellow was sitting high in a tree in James Gardens singing away. Another Blackbird further away was answering back so there was quite a choir. Red-wing Blackbirds are always a sign to me that spring is really here.

I also like to see the arrival of these birds. They showed up here 3 or 4 weeks ago. Handsome birds with that red racing stripe.

Hello :=)
Beautiful photo of the Red-winged Blackbird. I also made a post showing several photos of a Blackbird but it's not as pretty or colourful as your Blackbird.
All the best

Good to get a photo. They can be difficult to pin down.

I haven't seen a red-winged blackbird in ages. I think we are too far south for them here. He's a beauty.

Their song is haunting! Thank you Pat aloha

Ooh, another species that we don't have here (UK). I like the flash of colour. (Reminds me of some sports clothing!)

Always reminds me of the song. :-)'

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

WE have blackbirds and I am quite ignorant about them but I'm sure they don't have any red on them. This chap looks pretty.

LOL, looks like it has the German flag on the wing!
Fitting, Spring is here, we had our first BBQ yesterday!

Nice that it has a little colored spot on its wings.

What a lovely bird and capture! Thanks for sharing. Be well.

There is a spot near where we live where I used to see these guys.
Urban sprawl has led to building built on the land these birds were on and luckily for all the conscientious builders built a patch of green and a little pond. I am delighted to report they are back.

You had such a nice background for this beautiful bird. We have them here and love the song they sing!
