Well mate i dint see that red at all all i see was a black bird when i shone the torch light on it an it had a hint of blue in its breast feathers thats why i thought its a jackdoor an it was bigger than a blackbird
Ian, that brings to mind childhood memories of moving every 2 -4 years to another Marine Corps base when Dad would get transferred. Even if just moving to another state or region within the US, inevitably the new-to-us local vernacular was something that to be learnt necessarily LOL
Oh and whenever we'd live in Southern California and he'd have to go to Twennynine Palms for desert training he'd have to shake his boots after waking, they were a favorite place for scorpions to occupy during the night
Well that one is certainly handsome
Sounds like a really dirty Jay to me Chris, the Red winged blackbird would be a first for the UK I think.
Tim I know next to nothing about Audubon but here's who has taken up residence in my Ladyfriend's back yard presently

Love it Ron. No idea what it is, though it could be a warbler of some sort. The chicks look a bit like our starlings. Your birds are different to ours :smiling:
WELL Tim i shew jen the picture an she says yes it was a red winged blackbird whats shown in the photo
Then you’ve seen an extremely rare bird Chris :thumb2: The last time one was seen it was apparently in the Orkneys. It caused bird watchers to charter private planes just to go up there and see it…..

A week ago when they were new-borns, Sue noticed the parents were not present and she figured the babies didn't survive. So she asks (okay, okay, Coerced) me to come over and clean them out to make way for another family. Man I didn't have the heart for that, did it once before years ago and wow was I a wimp about it. I'd sooner shoot myself in the foot if there ever was a next time. So I was damn sure to observe the nest closely and saw movement. No mouths wide open awaiting food, but... stirring. Whewwwww... anyway, look at them now!
Ron, that doesn’t make you a wimp, it makes you a human being :thumb2:
