Monday Blues: Hey There Mr. Blue
Well, after a week of mostly grey, the weekend could not have turned out any better for getting out, eh? Revisiting the that little bit of red-winged blackbird habitat Out There, revealed that there are in fact two males living in the little marsh area - when i threw a rock into the water, they both flew out to investigate but, alas, i wasn't quick enough with the camera to catch them both. I also caught a glimpse of the female, one that i am sure of, but i think two of them as well. I think if i ever decide to be a serious birder, i am going to need a bigger lens - you know, one of those monstrous looking things.
Easter seemed particularly fine for a relaxing cruise along our local rail trail, the Pacific Electric Trail (PET).

"Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin, everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day...
Hey there, Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you..."

if not for the red, would you know there was a bird flying there
