I like this time of the season when the young birds start to get adult feathers and look a bit patchworky. Young Redwinged Blackbirds are very pretty with their peachy faces and pink beak corners. The last bird is older but also still changing. #birds #birdsofMastodon #blackredyellow #nature #birdwatching #Ostdrossel

Hormones are beginning to rage, resulting in an amazing symphony of calls and melodies by the competing males. But the bird ladies also get to enjoy impressive, dramatic and sometimes hilarious visual displays, like here from RedwingedBlackbird and #Grackle. #birds #birdsofnorthamerica #birdsofMastodon #PureMichigan #blackredyellow #nature #Ostdrossel #birdwatching

March is well on its way into spring, and it is noticeable when you step outside right away. The #RedwingedBlackbirds and Grackles have even started to puff up already, and it is glorious to listen to and watch. The #Titmice have also become a lot more vocal, and the #Goldfinches are turning more and more yellow, changing into summer feathers. It is just so lovely to see the changes.
