The Elusive Red Winged Blackbird

This morning I continued my search for the elusive Red-Winged Blackbird. Good ole Agelaius phoeniceus. I walked along an old trail I've been down before, which was recently expanded into a new area. Here I stood along the marshy wetland and watched as two flitted down from the trees through the cat-tailed swamp and back into the trees. Not until I was leaving and already across the bridge did I look back to see one light not ten yards from where I had just been. It's a conspiracy I tell ya. I did catch a Gray Catbird hanging out in a tree nearby.
