The Red-winged Blackbird,an abundant permanent resident of Florida, breeds in
wetlands throughout most of the continent south of the tundra. Of the 14 recognized
subspecies in North America, 4 breed in Florida.
Inland, Red-winged Blackbirds occur around freshwater ponds and marshes in natural, agricultural,
and suburban settings. Along the coast and in the Keys,
they breed in salt marshes, mangroves, and buttonwoods. Their food consists of the
seeds of weeds and grasses, various grains, and insects and other invertebrates'
The common name for the Red-winged Blackbird is taken from the mainly black adult male's distinctive red shoulder patches, or "epaulets", which are visible when the bird is flying or displaying. At rest, the male also shows a pale yellow wingbar. The female is blackish-brown and paler below. The female is considerably smaller than the male.
I found this male at Joe Overstreet landing at Lake Kissimmee.
Osceola County, Florida.
Looking more like something out of an H.G. Wells novel, this is one of a group of Maunsell towers that makes up Red Sands Fort in the Thames Estuary. Constructed in 1942 - 43 as a defence against the Luftwaffe using the Thames Estuary as a guide to finding London these Forts were equipped with Anti Aircraft guns and manned by the Army. Decommissioned in the late 1950s then briefly and unofficially used again during the 1960s as offshore pirate radio stations.

There must be a treasure trove of bugs for these Red-bellied Woodpeckers somewhere close. They're returning about every 10 minutes to feed the little ones.

I have not seen many Red-tailed Hawks this fall compared to other years. I came across this one at Willband Creek Park.
I'm not sure what captured this hawk's attention but it stayed put allowing me to take several good shots of it. Usually red-tailed hawks are very skittish with me.
No estoy seguro de lo que captaba la atención de este gavilán pero quedó muy quieto permitiendo que tomara unas fotos buenas de él. Usualmente, los gavilanes colirrojos son muy asustadizos cuando me acerco.
Mammals make up the bulk of most Red-tailed Hawk meals. Frequent victims include voles, mice, wood rats, rabbits, snowshoe hares, jackrabbits, and ground squirrels. The hawks also eat birds, including pheasants, bobwhite, starlings, and blackbirds; as well as snakes and carrion.
They are spreading color all around through those lovely soft antennas.

I had Cabin Fever and had to go for a walk in the Rain,however it was worth getting wet when I found these Red Carnation's.
Some people just look good all the time don't they! Even when they are a'bloody'sleep! I kick and talk, not so pretty here, hahahaha.
Anyway, this is a candid shot from the same back yard festival. Rosie, as you guys have seen in several of my other shots, (the two from Dartmoor), is rather photogenic. I love her hair! x
