Blackbirds blue

"Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise

you were only waiting for this moment to arise

you were only waiting for this moment to arise"

I have a family of blackbirds that live in my yard and nest most years. This one has chosen to nest right outside my study window so I can watch them. The mother laid four eggs, two at first and then another two a couple of days later. The babies hatched yesterday. Both parents work to feed the young.

 

Blackbirds are introduced birds here but they have a beautiful song and a gentle, if not messy nature. I am very fond of them.
