Female Red Winged Blackbird
The Female Red Winged Blackbirds around us seem to stay hidden in the reeds and cattails once the nesting season has begun. Luckily on this day we were treated to the subtle beauty of this female sitting high on a cattail in the pond.

Mr. Muddy Beak
Mr. Muddy Beak A.K.A. a male Yellow Headed Blackbird was digging through the mud on the banks of Lake John in Walden, CO looking for a meal. So much color packed into those little Yellow Feathers.

Hey…Follow me
With the bottom of their acorn vault looking depleted a pair of Acorn Woodpeckers makes their way towards the top shelf of their tree. The first one confidently leading the way as if saying follow me. I love the colors and the button eyes of these guys.
