I think this is a gorgeous male red winged blackbird.

The redwinged blackbird and his mate on my deck beam.

The BC redwinged blackbird is is somewhat different from the birds I photographed in Ontario, that at first I didn’t recognize it.  This bird has a yellow tuft and the red isn’t as prominent, so that is why I am not certain (Comments please if I need a correction)

This female does look like the red-winged blackbirds in my bird books.

The stellar jays that live in the cedar trees around my house are regular visitors.

A crow prances on my deck.

Earlier on the weekend

And there were visitors who were also my guests for an earlier dinner.
