Some of the Blackbirds are starting to come to my backyard and of course they eat like “no day tomorrow”. They are voracious eaters.

I’ve seen Brown-headed Cowbirds, Blue Jays and Red-winged Blackbirds.

Today I’ll be posting photos of only one of them: The Brown-headed Cowbirds. Blackbirds usually fly in groups mixed with other types of the species. They are not completely back from migration, they are coming in large flocks randomly. Once they stay in the area then you will wish that they never came!
