   Before this spring I never really appreciated how pretty female red-winged blackbirds are.

   I wonder why I only see male RW blackbirds? I’m certain I haven’t seen a female.

   Great photos, as usual!

   I love your photos Tom, but I miss your words! LOL! I love orange hawkweed – we used to call it Indian Paintbrush when I was a kid! Don’t know if that is a known common name since Newcomb’s lists it as Devil’s Paintbrush.

   I like your wordless Wednesday offerings.
   Whoever said a picture is worth 1000 words wasn’t exactly right–your photos are worth a lot, but so are your words.

   Thanks everyone for your kind words and I love doing wordless wednesday because sometimes wordless is better than the books that I can write sometimes! Robin – you should, makes posting easy!

    Great WW Mon@rch. Thar RW Blackbird looks a lot like a Red-breated Grosbeak. Lots of females look so similar in the bird world.
