Thank you. I was thrilled when I saw that I actually caught the action...and it was cool to see a still of their wings in different positions all displaying the red...that is something I wouldn't have seen with the naked eye.

I like the jaunt in his step. ...Somehow the males always look almost fake to me...the coloring and smoothness just looks painted on--especially in the crisp light of your shot.

dap, I saw a bird that looked just like a red-winged blackbird down here (FL) but instead of red, it had white bands! I have no idea what it was!

How cool is that! Maybe someone here will know what it is...and tell us.

Red wings are one of my all time favorites (Along with the cedar waxwings)....I really enjoy their song. Look at meeeeeeeee

Yes, I'm enjoying their song...makes me think it is spring, despite the temperatures and large patches of *crunchy* snow left on the newly crusty/frozen ground.

I could see that as being what Sage might have seen. I resembles them quite close.
Boy Oh boy did my lovebird ever enjoy listening to its trill in that link. I have to go back and play it a few more time for him. It really livened him up. He's chirping his little heart out... ![]()

It sounds like a lark bunting but the maps say wrong area. I saw a lark bunting here in the Chicago area about 10 years or more ago beneath some shrubs. Not once since though. Smaller than a redwing, but not little like a sparrow.
