Not so quiet blackbird

Taken at Constitution Gardens on the National Mall, while they’re still open before the start of what sounds like an unnecessary project to “improve” (meaning spoil) the park.

Not so mellow yellow, posted earlier:

Excellent timing! I hope they won't spoil it, but make it even more inviting for native wildlife.

The bird doesn’t seem very happy about the changes either. V

Great shot of the ruffled feathers on this red-winged blackbird, he is probably expressing his concerns over the plans you mentioned. V

Nice shot of this vocal R-w Blackbird who probably isn't pleased also to have his park torn apart.

Go ahead and tell them like it is redwing!
globalgadabout31-May-2023 18:40
looks as if the redwing agrees, and is already lodging a protest..

nicely captured and framed.V.

When they say to restore, they destroy it; when they say better, they make it worse. Nice capture of the bird that she is already warning! V
