Steve Watson writes, “Here’s a bird I heard about last year, but never saw until this July.
A Yellow-Headed Blackbird.
They’re shy and hang out in marshes, making their nests out in the reeds and grasses in the water. On my daily walks I could hear an unusual bird call coming from out on the marsh (what used to be Cravath and Trippe Lakes), but didn’t know it was this.
These photos are from Trippe Lake trail. Hope you enjoy.
