Intent on catching a few minutes of sun on my lunch break today, I decided to see if there were any new birds at my favorite spot, not too far from where I work.
When I first arrived there were none, but I sat down on the grass anyway, and waited. After a few minutes my patience was rewarded —a Red-winged Blackbird flew in!
According to bird web sites, the Red-winged Blackbird is one of the most abundant birds across North America, and one of the most boldly colored.
After snapping a few pics, the Killdeer showed up!
A moment later, a Snipe flew out of his hiding place among the water plants! He had been there all along. (Probably watching me the whole time!)
