Flock after flock of blackbirds, ducks, geese, raptors flapping their way north. If you already know the songs of American Robin and Eurasian Blackbird , then you already know what the national bird is doing. It eventually warms up but in the meantime, it’s good birding anyways. But that’s up in the temperate north.

I spent this past weekend in Saugerties at my folks’ house in order to look for Easter eggs, let Desi enjoy time with his cousins, and generally have a good ol’ time with family. Red-winged Blackbird singing at the Great Vly. If not, well, you must not be a birder. That piece of bark made me very angry.

One Oriental Pratincole of them was courageously raising its wings when I unknowingly drove towards its eggs – I reversed, but I am not so sure about the next person using that road … Being yelled at by the chick of an Oriental Pratincole. The birding life. A somewhat older chick. Not this one.

There is some debate on the reproductive/genetic benefits of this, although a common view is that individuals don’t want all their eggs in one genetic basket, so to speak (pun intended, zing!). Despite how familiar you may be with sights and sounds of Red-winged Blackbirds , you may not know what is going on down in the reeds.
