@becsbuddy Wow! That's one hunky black bird. Looks really fine at your birdbath. Don't want to know what he's eating.
They do have a loud, distinctive call. I love to see them fly in a large group from tree to tree or to land on a building....I think they're beautiful.
Haven't been able to get a decent picture of my new love, the huge red headed woodpecker. What joy he and all the others who visit me bring to a lady and her cat. Samantha actually enjoys watching the behavior of these fellows. The squirrels run when she goes out. Goody! The birds keep an eye on her I think but do their thing and she seems to enjoy watching them. Wonder what they all are thinking?
Hot here all week in 90s, no rains in sight, so I'm watering every day front and back...hope all are well. Elizabeth
