Red-winged Blackbird

Saw this Red-winged Blackbird tonight while out on Eagle watch. Don't get to see this bird very often.

Red-winged Blackbird

Part of this past weekend was spent counting birds for the Great Backyard Bird Count. Of the 23 species I spotted, one was the Red-winged Blackbird, a first time visitor. I've seen this bird before, but never in our neighborhood. Needless to say, it added a little excitement to the count for me. The family of four must have just been passing through though as they were only spotted on Saturday.
