This evening driving along Prairie Central Road just west of Banford Road we saw a flock of blackbirds flying towards us. Benny and I saw at about the same time that there were four male Yellow-headed Blackbirds in the flock! We turned around and found them on a telephone pole.

Moving forward a bit we found the fourth one at the crossrail below. A female Brown-headed Cowbird is on the right.

Last week when we were driving on the road I had told the boys that the area has had Yellow-headed Blackbirds several times in the past. I should have saved that bit of dad wisdom for about one-minute before the sighting today.
