Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge, North Dakota. In the case of these Tricolored Blackbirds , they are formed for DEFENSE. Certain flocks of birds really grab your attention. You may be happy to have a flock of chickadees visit your backyard, but it is difficult to ignore hundreds of American White Pelicans streaming by.

Barf at blackbirds. Photographed at Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge, ND. They are fearful of flycatchers. Galled at gulls. They wince at warblers. Wail at waterfowl. Flinch at finches. Grind teeth at grosbeaks. Gnaw themselves at gnatcatchers. Spew at sparrows. And…you guessed it…shed tears for shorebirds.
