RE: Feathered Friday - 12 Crow Photos
I'm hoping too. :) On another front, one of the male redwing blackbirds, which have always been terrified of me, (and abandon the feeder even if they see me looking at them from inside the house, lol), has become a friend. He comes every morning and lands on my fence just a few feet from me and chirps. I say hi, and tell him to get some food, and he goes and gets some of the bread I've put out for the Jays and other assorted birds. Now that's quite a turnaround!
That's awesome, @free-reign! My turn to be envious - I've tried a number of times to get a good shot of a Red Winged Blackbird, but the ones in my yard are wicked skittish! It's such an amazing feeling when you gain a feathered friend like that, isn't there? Please tell him I said "hi!" 😊
Yeah, he really surprised me that first day he came and sat on the fence, and apparently, from how you describe yours - they are very skittish. I never expected I'd ever get more than a glimpse of them, but that first day I had a feeling he trusted me. I do feel good about that, but feeding all the birds each morning is always a pleasurable way to start the day! And the redwing has come by and greets me at the fence every single day since the first one! I'll tell him you say Hi tomorrow morning. :)
Totally love this. Maybe some day he'll agree to be in a post of yours...

Oh, he did! That's awesome, JW!
