A New Critter to My Yard

He's listed as a common bird, but I've never seen him in my backyard before. A yellow-headed blackbird. According to my field guide, he likes marshy, wet places. Add bird feeders to that "like" list since that's why he was visiting.

  3. It's gorgeous!
    With global warming we are having new species now, you can even find parrots here and in some parts of Lisbon too! Amazing!
