Red Wing Blackbird Activity
Recently I had an hour to spend near a marsh on a day that the Brochures always show. Calm, sunny, cloudless sky, wonderful temperature – the kind of day that the brochure assures you is always the case whenever you visit wherever you visit.
In this case the red wing blackbird males were flying and perching, calling in hope, it appeared, of some “afternoon delight”.

Good for the soul,
Not useless.
To be preserved,
Not filled in.

Here are two sights with great visual and emotional value that wetlands provide.

This and yesterday’s photographs were made on our walk.
