I sat outside with the birds this morning.
The snowy weather has brought many birds to my backyard.
I was very excited to see a Red Winged Blackbird fly in.
Seldom do I see a Red Winged Blackbird
in my backyard.
They are birds of the countryside.in my backyard.
The forecast is for freezing rain this afternoon.
I will set up a few more serving trays.
It looks as if company is coming!

Nice to see a redwing black bird again. They seemed to have disappeared around here for the winter. We have snowy weather too. Two flickers, a robin, and the normal rompings of juncos, finches, and chickadees are here at our feeder in coastal WA state.
Hi Sherry,
That is a beautiful bird.
It makes me smile to think of you sharing your time with such pretty visitors. I'm stuck in a grey office dreaming of such thing.
Besos,
Mel
I am so happy you are welcoming these beautiful blackbirds into your garden Sherry. They are a native our our great country even if they are common as an old shoe I just love them dearly. You too for being such a caring person.
They are very pretty birds for being so plain.
Dear Natural Moments,
I so seldom see a Red-winged that when he flew in I gasped!
My yard is filled with birds today, 250-300! Lots and lots of wings! A large flock of House Finches came in and they are mingling with the Purple Finches at the feeders. If I do get ice more birds could come in.
I think I am having a Holiday party!
My daughter lives in Portland, Oregon. She has a pair of Flickers too. Your birds are a wee bit different than mine!
Nice to meet you.
Looking forward to reading your journal and getting to know you and your birds.
Namaste,
Sherry
Dear Mel,
We will have to get a bird feeder for your office. Hopefully you have a window! I have to be able to see outside.
Have a delightful Holiday!
Love and light,
Sherry
Dear Lisa,
Oh my goodness, the Red-winged Blackbirds are not common at all for me! I seldom see them. I need to get away from my backyard more!
I welcome all the birds...the Blue Jays are keeping the Starlings and the Grackles at bay. I still have four dozen Doves and five dozen House Sparrows...hawk food!
Hope you are enjoying these before Christmas days. I am watching the skies waiting for ice.
Stay safe,
Sherry
Dear Scienceguy,
They are pretty. Watching this male fly about was very cool. I loved the way his "red bar" flashed. I was very close to him too when I took his portrait photos.
I like having a series of up close pictures of all the backyard birds!
Hope you have a nice Holiday.
Bird songs,

I miss red-winged blackbirds. Living in So. IL I used to see them in certain areas a lot. My parents had a game they played in the car when they saw them. Basically, the first one who sees it and yells, "red-winged blackbird" wins. I have such fond memories of this bird. Beautiful, thanks.
We have them in summer. So I am surprised they showed up in your backyard at this time of year. Glad you had a chance to welcome him.
Dear Garden4life,
So nice to meet you.
I live in the city and Red-winged Blackbirds are countryside birds!
It is fun to have one in the backyard. So glad you enjoyed the photographs and the memories.
I am looking forward to visiting your blog and getting to know you.
Sherry
Dear Wendy,
I think they are year around out in the country. I remember seeing them at my son's house when he lived in the country.
I wonder if I put pout corn if more will come?
Stay warm!
Sherry
