A Male Yellow-headed Blackbird on the rail of our back deck.

I've decided to take break from photos of Big Bend National Park and post some of birds and flowers near home and of a recent trip. This is a Yellow-headed Blackbird, a regular visitor at our feeders and a bully that will drive away all the other birds and keep them away.

This is an immature Yellow-headed Blackbird photographed on the rail of back deck.

This is a female Yellow-headed Blackbird, brown instead of black and less yellow on the head and chest than the male.

I've posted photos of three Blackbirds today, this the Yellow-headed Blackbird, Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus, a regular visitor at our feeders but a large bird that drives all the other birds away.

These are the largest birds that come to our feeders and they are bullies that chase everything else away and along with the Cowbirds and Red-wing Blackbirds are eating us out of house and home.
