I had a pretty cool male Leucistic Red-winged Blackbird late this afternoon at my feeders, I have attached a photo of it. I also had a Leucistic Common Grackle today as well, I was not able to get photos, I tried but the birds flushed. I have had some Bronzed Cowbirds as well as four Shiny Cowbirds also coming to my feeders. Most of the Shiny Cowbirds are moulting females with one moulting male. I have had large numbers of blackbirds, I hope to get a Yellow-headed Blackbird, I will keep looking.

I have had an adult female Ruby-throated Hummingbird show up about four days ago, I hope I get more!
