That's a beautiful bird atop these tall grasses. I'm sure his song was beautiful and made your heart want to sing along. Hope all is well. Have a great weekend.

A lovely proverb, and very beautiful photos. I love this little bird.

Rita said...

Thank you for your visit and the nice comment.

You have featured a bird that I am not familiar with.
Love the bright yellow. A web search tell me it is a yellow headed back bird.

Read your profile and wanted to remind everyone that those of us who suffer/have suffered with a seizure disorder are not defined by our seizures. They are just one of the quirks we deal with.

Michele: I never saw one of these yelow headed blackbirds until I saw Ruth's blog. It must be a Canadian thing.

I don't know the bird's name. Is it a blackbird type of bird. I have seen yellow headed type black birds but not this one. I will return to the blog until someone names it type. Beautiful pictures.

Thank you for your visit to my blog. I just read your bio and noticed that you fly fish. My husband is an avid fly fisher and teaches fly casting here in SW Florida ... he is on the Casting Board of Govenors for the FFF so he spends alot of time casting!

Here's to your health......

The bird in the photo is a male yellow-headed blackbird. They prefer larger, deeper wetlands because these wetlands because they may be more resistant to draining, development, and agricultural conversion. In the spring and summer and when feeding young, Yellow-headed Blackbirds eat many insects. The rest of the year they eat seeds and waste grains, and probably two-thirds of their annual diet is seeds and grain. Thanks everyone for the comments!

Lovely shots - and the proverb is perfect.

This is one blackbird that I have not seen in my parts. It looks great on that bent over grass or whatever it is. Looks almost like wire.

Very nice photography.
