Beautiful Red-Winged Black Birds
I saw these black birds near the ducks and swans by the river. They all seemed to get along very well, and were very used getting fed by humans. Whatever foods the ducks and the swans missed, these birds snatched them up quickly, and flied away.
I am pretty these birds are called Red-Winged Black Bird, though some of them had orange or yellow markings on their wings. They were beautiful to watch since the rest of their black feathers glowed under the sun.
These red-winged black birds are not that shy around their animal friends, but they definitely don't like to see humans' shadows. They flew as soon as one took a step.
The quality in these pictures are not that great, but what do you expect from a point and shoot camera?

Never saw a bird like that with the red wing. And you still do pretty darn well with a point and shoot camera!~ Thanks for voting on my blogger contest:)
ReplyDeleteI love Red-winged Black Birds. Around my place, they are the harbingers of spring. One of the first to arrive. I love when they sing their songs in the heat of the day. You have some lovely captures!
ReplyDeleteNice shots of the Red-winged Blackbirds Mumsy. They are fun to watch, especially now during breeding season.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite birds. Great captures Mumsy!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen those birds. What a great mosaic!
ReplyDeleteThey are sleek little looking guys, well captured.
ReplyDeleteVery nice capture. It's simple gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful birds, aren't they? I never tire of watching the ones near us. It's been fun following the changes in behavior as they mate and settle into raising their young.
