My Mother's Foe

 

"A man may learn wisdom even from a foe." - Aristophanes

After a fairly lazy morning hanging around the house, Scott and I ventured to Mer Bleue to see if the rain was keeping the birds away.

 

Luckily for us, the birds weren't bothered and were out and congregating around an almost empty feeder.

 

As we drove up to the parking area we could hear the unmistakable call of the red-winged blackbird, back from wherever they winter and ready to haunt my Mom's nightmares.

 

So of course, I had to get a shot. There was no choice, it's a warning to her that they're back and she should watch her noggin!

 

Spring can't be too far off if these guys have arrived, their call is an unmistakable sign of spring!

 

Hope everyone has had a good day.
