red-winged blackbird






I love the call of the red-winged blackbird.


I never knew what their eggs looked like until I got this book, Egg & Nest
by Rosamund Purcell, Linnea Hall and Rene Corado:






Red-winged blackbird eggs are absolutely spectacular!  












I wonder if Jackson Pollock or Franz Kline 
got their inspiration from red-winged blackbird eggs?

You can learn more about red-winged blackbirds 
at Cornell's All About Birds website.  
They have lots of information, sound clips, and videos.

(Sometimes when I want to hear the sounds of spring and summer, 
I go on their site and listen to sound clips...)
