Male Yellow-headed Blackbird

We were lucky to have a quick getaway to the Whiteshell recently.  This curious visitor stopped by the shoreline to dine on some fish flies and test the limitations of my dog's leash. 

The Male Yellow-headed Blackbird. Much more vibrant than their female counterpart as is often the case.  They have white under their wings and are said to be territorial which explains his fascination with us and that he returned more than once throughout our day. 

Looking forward to exploring more of nature as the summer season rolls on.  I hope anyone who has stopped by is doing well and finding ways to keep safe and keep occupied during these strange days. 

Cheers!
