Red-winged Blackbirds

It is fun to see the large flocks of Red-winged blackbirds flying around the Blackwater National Wildlife in the Winter months. Sometimes it looks like a moving dark cloud oscillating around the refuge. In a previous blog I had a 7 shot panorama of thousands of  Red-winged blackbirds flying along one of the main access roads to the refuge. Every once in a while you see an eagle picking out one for a meal.
