They're back! Today's wonderful
sound: the trill of the
red-winged blackbirds. The green fuse is igniting. But first, we have to get through another couple of days of rain. We're under a heavy rainfall warning - again.

Yvonne, I also heard and then saw the first Red-winged this spring today as I was outside just as the rain started. I ,too, love their call. We have lots of them around here all during spring and summer. I love watching them sitting on a tall stem in the hay field.
ReplyDeleteone just flew past my window Yvonne! Love to hear them call. Good luck with the rain...winter is coming back this way tonight. COLD!

ReplyDeleteThanks gals. Always appreciate your comments. Winter and spring are still battling it out, but we know which one is gonna win!
