It is March 12 and I am looking for my first sighting of a red winged blackbird. I pass a marsh near my house. The farmer puts out bird houses for these blackbirds. They come back every year.
Every time I pass this area I have my eyes open to spot these beautiful blackbirds. I looked today but I could not see any. I did not see any with their tell tale red wings but I will keep looking for them every time I go on this road.
I have always loved seeing these birds. And this is one place I look for them. I just wonder where they spent their winters and how far did they have to travel to get here. I will keep looking for them. I just think they are beautiful birds.
