Basically, the first one who sees it and yells, "red-winged blackbird" wins. I have such fond memories of this bird. Beautiful, thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516007107983191206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-91295947678224068282008-12-18T16:24:00.000-06:002008-12-18T16:24:00.000-06:00Dear Scienceguy,They are pretty.

Two flickers, a robin, and the normal rompings of juncos, finches, and chickadees are here at our feeder in coastal WA state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
