Weekly challenge - 3/30 - 4/6 Birds of a feather...

[SquarePeg]

For this week's challenge - show off your bird stalking skills. In flight, on a wire, two in the hand or three in the bush. Flocking together, soaring solo, city birds or birds of prey. In the wild or in the parking lot - if it has feathers and can fly it works! Bonus points if you can name the type of bird.

As always, new photos only please!

Inspired by this week's challenge, I took my camera with me to do my irrigating this morning. I was mainly looking for some long-billed curlews that I see every spring. I also came across red-winged blackbirds, I wish that shrill call of theirs was something you could hear in the photo. As well as Eurasian collared doves and a bald eagle, okay, the eagle is just a decal on an old Case tractor in my dad's driveway.
