HKatz বলেছেন...: Wallace Stevens gave us thirteen ways of looking at a blackbird.

Now the blackbird would simply like to speak for itself.; ১০/৪/১০, ৮:৫১ PM
David বলেছেন...: It was evening all afternoon.
It was snowing
And it was going to snow.
The blackbird sat
In the cedar-limbs.; ১০/৪/১০, ৮:৫৯ PM
bagoh20 বলেছেন...: Bird culture is surprisingly stagnant. They were singing the same songs decades ago when I was a kid. But then again, so do I.; ১০/৪/১০, ৯:১৩ PM
As my whimsy leads me.. বলেছেন...: I love red-winged blackbirds. Just to get that little flash of red when driving along the road improves the day.

Big Mike বলেছেন...: I see that your red-winged blackbirds up in Wisconsin can't hold a tune any better than the ones here in Virignia.; ১০/৪/১০, ৯:২৩ PM
prairie wind বলেছেন...: One of my favorite birdcalls. Don't suppose you could get a meadowlark next?; ১০/৪/১০, ৯:৪৩ PM
JAL বলেছেন...: For the past two years we have been blessed by a large flock(hundreds!) of red winged blackbirds flashing their red and yellow at us as they swing around the end of our living room.

Very cool.; ১০/৪/১০, ১০:০৬ PM
Unknown বলেছেন...: The birds are out, including the ^%$#&*!@ hawks. One was patrolling overhead as the puppies were out and The Blonde gave her usual warning, "They only think they're an endangered species. Just let them come near my dogs...".

Hope they bank to the left so they don't block the kitchen; ১১/৪/১০, ৫:৩৪ AM
campy বলেছেন...: Speaking of birds, how 'bout those Boston College Eagles? They sure spanked Wisconsin in the NCAA hockey final last night!; ১১/৪/১০, ৬:৪০ AM
Bushman of the Kohlrabi বলেছেন...: Goldfinches are never in a bad mood.; ১১/৪/১০, ৮:০৫ PM
sonicfrog বলেছেন...: A favorite song for me too! If you take a birdsong, and slow it down, you'll find that there is always a ton more going on that you are able to hear. It's fascinating.

If you like more info, check out Don Koordsma's book "The Secret Life Of Songbird". It's fascinating.; ১২/৪/১০, ২:১৯ PM
