Birds, again

Occasionally, a Red-wing blackbird show up at the feeders. I don't think i've seen it on the feeder, just in the tree watching the other birds. I think i've seen it twice. I'm a big fan of red-wing blackbirds as there were many of them at GGF but they are rather rare in the mountains here — don't know why.

The tree is a Sourwood tree also called Lily of the Valley tree ... this is its first year here as i planted it in the spring ... looking for forward to its fall colors.


I have been trying to get photographs of bird pairs: both of the same genius  and of different kind:

Two reds

And sometime they want something they can't  have or reach:


Tufted Titmouse reaching for the humming bird feeder - no, he/she didn't reach it.
