Red Winged Blackbirds

A huge flock of Red Winged Blackbirds recently visited my friend's pastures and left quite an impression.  They were searching for food sources and as an omnivorous species, they will eat almost anything.  In addition to watching their dining habits which are typically entertaining, you should always scan the large flocks to see if you spot the ever elusive Yellow Headed Blackbird!!

Check out all the divots made by their beaks! Talk about aerating a lawn!!
