A group of Redwinged Blackbirds

is currently visiting while traveling to their winter quarters farther south, and I am loving the sight of these immature birds. Redwinged Blackbirds are a favorite to begin with but the immatures have all kinds of golden patterns all over their bodies, which looks really nice. The more streaky looking one is a female. Bonus is a Chickadee. There is quite a group of them around, and they are working the feeders and baths all day and also check out the nestbox occasionally. Some may be part of the family that was raising young there in the spring.
