Blackbirds

The tanagers seem to have gone off a bit on campus, so I took my kid and dog to Delta park to check out the waterfowl. Ramona was obsessed with eating rocks and dirt, so I didn't get much looking in, but saw several glorious yellow-headed blackbirds and red-winged blackbirds, as well as herons on the wing who looked like great kites hung in the sky. That neck posture, an s-curve, floors me. Incredible bird song. Will return with someone to look after the kid.
