    While observing sandhill cranes forage along the marsh, a Red-winged Blackbird took flight from a nearby reed. I don't know, that patch on the wings seems more orange than red to me, what do you think? I guess Red-winged has a better ring to it than Orange-winged . . .

    She doesn't have all of the flash and color of many other birds, but when this female blackbird took a perch on this white goosefoot plant facing the morning sun, I couldn't resist a capture. With the sun on her face and striking a pose, I say you look just beautiful!

    A Yellow-headed Blackbird takes off from last year's reed to find a better spot to call out for a mate. You're a beauty so you shouldn't have too difficult of a time. Good luck Yellowhead!
