Mom's the word


I've been watching for the arrival of the female red-winged blackbirds.  The males arrive first and set up their territories, joined a few weeks later by the females.  This morning was my first sighting, although they probably have been here for a couple of weeks.  This female was poking around among the reeds, perhaps looking for nesting material.
