See the green? Spring is on it's way here at least.Also, some cowbird pictures, and a male and female red-winged blackbird. The Missouri Department of Conservation calender has the females returning on the 22nd, so not too far off. It's a great calendar, and predicted my junco arrival to within a couple days.
I think this is a cowbird. I saw it a couple weeks ago, and I assume it is a young male.
Male and female red-winged blackbirds.
The goldfinches are yellowing up!
I hope to soon have a post full of colorful migrants, or at least a description of some colorful migrants. Well, I guess it's a little to early to hope for that, but the weather sure has warmed up here. See you later!
The female red winged black bird would be really hard to identify if no male were around. Was she there by herself? She looks like a finch or some kind of sparrow - though I guess she's bigger. Good spotting!
