Red-winged blackbird.

I had a Red-winged Blackbird in my feeder yesterday, much to my surprise. I've never seen a red-wing in a feeder; I didn't even know they ate this type of birdseed. Apparently so, however. I guess the reason I'm not used to them is because most houses with feeders that I've been to are in dryer, foresty areas, and Red-wings prefer marshlands. I'm on top of hill, so it won't be a marshland for long, but the big field is very swampy right now. I've also got spring peepers (the cute-sounding froggies) out back, and they, too, prefer wet places. So I guess it's the right habitat for red-wings. But it was funny watching him in the feeder, because they're quite large (like the size of a robin), and I usually only get chickadee- or sparrow-sized birds. He also had his red wing-bar hidden, which I'd never seen before. They display the red bars when singing, which, of course, is when I most frequently notice the birds. With the red hidden, all one sees is the narrow, yellow bar. I love having birds just two feet from my face, outside my window. :)

Probably not a good idea to watch an episode of the X-Files before going to sleep alone. Hm. :-\
