Nature Done Wright

After getting two more reports from Celery Farm regulars that they were strafed by the male Red-winged Blackbird likely defending his young– and getting strafed again myself — I closed off the milkweed field by Phairs Pond.

Please keep your distance. Should only be for a few more days.

Then Dennis the Menace Jr. will leave us be. (See next post.)

More about aggressive Red-winged Blackbirds here.

Michael Sterling's photo of Dennis Jr. is at the top of this post. (Thanks, Michael!)
