Black Birds



For Christmas, 
I was given the sight of red-winged blackbirds once again fluttering around my Daddy's backyard bird feeder...








...and grackles enjoying the bird bath.






I wonder what they keep looking at up there in the pecan trees?




For Christmas, the black birds received a sleepy cat, 
dozing on the deck, 
oblivious to the parties going on around him.





I hope some of your Christmas wishes have come true as well!

  3. I don't think I've ever seen a red-winged black bird. That's cool! My vision is getting so bad, I'm not sure what I'm seeing anymore. Hubby saw a large woodpecker yesterday and hollered at me to come look, but it flew off and I missed it! We hardly ever see those, either.

  6. Wauw Barbara, what beautiful birds and images. Never seen a redwinged blackbird. And certainly never seen or even heard of a grackle. They look graceful but they also look like they can be a bit of a pest?? And BEAUTIFUL kitty :-) I love nature shots of cats, gorgeous.
