Yellow-headed Blackbird

I had a chance last year to see a Yellow-headed Blackbird at Fernhill Wetlands. Every time I'd go out there it wouldn't be around. I was disappointed when it was gone.

Yesterday it was reported by Steve Nord that he saw 3 Yellow-headed Blackbirds at Jackson Bottom Wetlands.....

He gave exact directions where to go. So I went out to find them. So of course they weren't there at the same spot. I sat there for a while. I started heading over to Pintail Pond. Thought I'd take a shot of finding the Shrike.  On a fence was a bunch of Red-winged Blackbirds.  Took a look through the bins and there were the 3 Yellow-heads mixed in with the other blackbirds. Now how to get a photo without spooking them off. Well they spooked. I watched and they flew into a big tree by Pintail Pond.  I slowly walked up to where the tree was and got a couple fairly good shots.  I still feel a need to prove my sitings with photos.

So here they are.

Never saw the Shrike. But after all tomorrow is another day.
