Back to the birds, a female.

This is a juvenile female, Red-winged Blackbird. Not always the one the captures the photographers eye, but this one looked rather special.

A pretty sight. Thanks Kildale.

Those markings must make the youngster almost invisible to the naked eye when it's perched in a tree or bush. Ideal for keeping itself hidden from preditors.

She;s very special. I agree.

I'm trying to find somewhere that I can post a question to you officianados! I'll try here although I'm not confident. Has anyone tried using honey to make sugar-water for the hummingbirds? My mom just passed away but she bought 10 lbs of honey before doing so. I can't think of anything to do with it except maybe feed the birds. Anyone try it before?
Thanks!
