This image is a result of Rborud's comment in my earlier topic Looking for guidance.... His suggestion was that I not advertise the effect, rather to let folks discover on their own. Ooops

This is a prototype for possible future endeavors. The first person who successfully identifies the song, based on the seven "notes" shown below, wins a year's supply of links to my future topics!

No music back ground but an engaging image Linda....

Love it. This is a great series.

My guess with my near-zero knowledge of music notes: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...

I'm curious what the birds are after, I assume this is after the harvest and they're looking for bugs. Are these Starlings? Do you ever see them in formation? S-

I was surprised to discover last winter that they are redwing blackbirds! I would have guessed starlings as well. I always equated RWBB as a forward scout of spring, like robins - except robins often winter over now too.

A quick Google search says, "In winter, grain is an important source of food, and many birds feed on corn stubble and at feedlots." So I suspect they are in the hops fields for the harvest leftovers, just as they were in the cornfields when I photo'd last year. With the amount of agriculture around Yakima Valley, they'll probably continue to be plentiful.

That's a beautiful photo on its own but even more so now that I know more about your birds, thank you for that! S-
