Notes From the Edge of the Swamp


 


This Red-winged blackbird caught my attention right away. It moved from one dry marsh stem to another, balancing carefully and gripping with both feet as it searched for insects. I was watching its small acrobatic tricks and marveled by how much joy such a simple scene could bring.









During a warm winter the Red-winged Blackbirds often probe into the mud and along submerged marsh stems. Insects appear to take precedence over seeds.







Generally, life is good.
