Just had a male red-winged blackbird at my feeder on the deck. I have seen them a few times in fields, but never here in my yard - exciting. We used to see them all the time when we lived in Reno.

I tried to take a picture but when I opened the window he flew away. I am keeping the camera nearby in hopes he returns.

hope he comes back.

Dont open the window.LOL

I take mine thru the window.. They are very jumpy.

He came back all that day, but I wasn't able to get a picture. He hasn't been back in all this rain we've been having but the rest of the week is supposed to be sunny and warmer so I will see if he returns.

Dodge - I also take pictures through the window, but the feeder isn't that far from my sliding doors and the birds get scared easily.

Lynne, have you seen the RW Blackbird lately ??
