The Red-Winged Blackbirds love sitting on the cattails and calling.
Blackbirds sit on the cattails
And sway in the breeze
Their shrill calls sound like creaky door hinges...

I snapped these from the Target parking lot. The sun had just gone down, but the trees were hiding the very bottom part of the sunset. Life...

These pictures could NOT be any more beautiful if they tried, Ginny. I can imagine seeing this scene in-person was even more magnificent!! ~Andrea xoxo
Wonderful pictures. I've spotted a few of these around but they've always been in motion and too fast for me to get a picture
I’ve always referred to them as red-wing blackbirds. They show up here in the spring time. I like the way they sound. You have captured beautiful pictures of them.
I can just hear their beautiful calls. Great pictures Ginny!
These are fantastic captures Ginny, just gorgeous!
They are besutiful!
Such beautiful birds and the first picture of them sitting on the reeds is my favorite. Great photos
To me The Cattails in these photos make the birds even more beautiful and The Cattails almost outshine the beautiful birds. Awesome shots and I agree with Shug the first one is my favorite and when I first saw it I thought it was flamingos
Beautiful birds on the Cattails make great pictures.
How fun, we have the red-winged variety at the other end of town where there's a small lake. Here and in town, they area just black and a dull color for the girls.
I'm well, but a bit sad about friends and family who may not be. I guess I'm feeling a loss. It may all work out, but right now I don't know what to blog about, so I'm just taking a break.
You inspired me though with always finding unusual things to post. Last time I was stopped at the train tracks I took pictures of all the graffiti on the train cars. I will post it when I get back to blogging.
Thank you for the comments regarding my frost photos. :-) I was so pleased how I was able to capture the flowers. And guess what? 6.75 inches of snow fell yesterday!!
I like your poem and photos. The cattails are pretty.
Common birds with very uncommon color and calls.
Love your captures
Sue
Wow, what beautiful birds! Your photos are incredible! Love your poem, too :-)
I know there are folks who don’t like the call of these birds, but those first few calls in spring are like music to my ears.
I did not know there were red feathered black birds - they were kind of pretty weren't they?
Beautiful photos! I love seeing them sitting on the cattails!
That would be a lot of chatter in the tails. We sometimes see them migrate down trough our state. They would all land in out big maples and talk to each other.
Such beautiful birds! Red-Winged Blackbirds on Cattails make such a pretty sight. Regards Naomi https://divineangelnumbers.com/
Oh wow! Great photos Ginny! These are the birds I love to see and hear their distinctive trill. I have never seen this many at one time. You captured them beautifully.
