paulsiu:
I notice that black bird flocks may consist of several species of birds. At least when a large group black birds show up, I often get Starling, Grackles, and Red Wing Black birds.
That's correct, and the mix can change depending on where you are.
I took these pictures of a big flock a couple days ago in Maryland. On the wing, I ...

Nice shots. I haven't encountered any that were thrilled about posing either.

Risking life and limb, I veered off on to the road shoulder once again with cars whizzing by, to dangle out the window and grab a couple shots of this Red-shouldered Hawk. I can't help myself, no matter how many of these guys I see.

Thanks. It's a great time of year to see these guys at this spot. People come from all over the country to photograph them.

You would think all that commotion would bother the ...
