Although a late post, January 30, was the date I heard my first Red-wing Blackbird at my home. This is a bird that I mark the winding down of winter. Their song fills the ponds where I live usually in mid- February, but the mild winter has them heralding it early. They are a benchmark wetland bird for me! Welcome back! And welcome back to me!
Hey Joni! Our first blackbirds usually show up in mid-February. We got our first ones this year on the 23rd of last month. Wonderful photo, btw! Hope you're well.
I hear you! I love the sound of their beautiful trilling call. It fills me with happiness when I first hear it in late winter early spring. I live on the water, as well, so it says home to me. Keep up your great work!
Marie-- This was a very date here this year. Of course everything was early . . . and still is! Thanks for the compliment and for reading. I must get back to the blog. Love your artwork!
Jackie-- Yes, Red-wings are one of my favs and their beautiful songs remind me of home also. Songs of the wetlands! Thanks for being a follower! Enjoy the beauty!
