I found out that these birds can't sing when I was there last week. I didn't know much about them before my last visit, and when I first heard them, I thought something was dying or being hurt. Then I realized it was just one of these birds "singing". Shar824 wrote in post #10399516 It wouldn't matter to me if they could sing or not......I just wish we had some of them down this way. Very nicely done et. Thank you, Sharon! They are photogenic for sure. dbriz wrote in post #10399786 These are wonderful birds to photograph and you got some great poses... nice shots. db Thank you, dbriz! Yelow-headed blackbirds are nesting at this time, and they are not very shy as they are protecting nests. I was in my car when I took these pictures. The bird was about 3-4 ft from my car. I just rolled down the window and snapped a few photos. ajosteve wrote in post #10400203 I love the look you get in that second shot. Cute! We have some down south of here, about 2 hours drive.

The bird was very cooperative and it seems that it had a nest close by, so it must have been keeping an eye on it. It posed for me for about 1-2 minutes, before if flew away.
