Maybe spring really is here.
Oh, I love our Redwings! We have a pond next door thatisquite thebustling little ecosystem, and everyyear the blackbirds nest in the cattails. We were even fortunate enoughto see some of the nestlings this past summer.Iget excited when I see Redwing Blackbirds. They've been backhere for a few weeks now. They are my favorite.They are the most beautiful bird to me.

And the male redwings are sooo funny: they perch on the highestcattails, or on the trees surrounding the pond, and loudly announcetheir dominion. They've even divebombed several curious cats, and ourneighbor as she tried to trim the grass around the pond :shock:. Oncein awhile, they'll get into "conversations" with us:
Blackbird: loud trill
Me: What?
Blackbird: louder trill
Me: Oh really?
Blackbird: chirp-chirrup
Me: You don't say...
Blackbird: twee-twee-triiiiiiiiiilllllllll
