I was sitting by a pond this morning listening to all the red-winged blackbirds and watching the occasional visible flare of shoulder shawls, and thinking that all I really wanted was to find a way to describe that sound. To find a way to describe the sound and sight of a bird as he gulps air and lets out that rolling rrrrrr and his wings puff out ... that would be something.
Guess what I just picked up in the mail?! Book day!
Great photos! And years and lists are secondary to just enjoying the birds! No matter how many species

Yay! They arrived!
I was telling my friend Suzanne that red-winged blackbirds sound like a bird who only knows parts of a few songs and sings them all at once.
😂 that's perfect
