Yellow-headed Blackbird / Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus

A photo from my archives, taken on May 13th, of a male Yellow-headed Blackbird at a pond in south west Calgary. Always a treat when these beautiful birds return from their migration.

I guess it did snow a tiny bit last night - I did wonder just what was on my car windscreen this morning when I peered through the blinds, but by the time I got up and saw it, it had pretty much melted. I'm hoping the weather stays reasonable, as I found out today that my front door (maybe not the patio door yet?) will be replaced next Monday. A relief to finally have a date, something definite, about something! I'm in limbo as far as everything else is concerned, ha.
