They normally look like this.
Just a little bit of color on the wings. Some red. A touch of yellow.
But when they’re showing off.

Red-winged blackbirds
What a difference

Snowy plover
A few weeks ago I sent out two pictures of small plovers out on the Laguna Madre salt flats. The piping plover.
And the semi-palmated plover.
Now I have pictures of the snowy plover too.
On the inland salt flats at Sal del Rey.
Our three smallest plovers. Each slightly different, but not by a lot.
Judy’s flowers are looking pretty comfortable too
Not a care
Henry had quit eating. That was worrying. But we’ve solved that problem with a refrigerated food called Fresh Pet. No more kibble for this guy.
He’s looking pretty comfortable.
