I was on Wilson Road today around 11. The Blackbirds were around, but I
could not locate a Yellow-headed, so I went home. I got a phone call from a
birding friend of mine who lives in the area. He said he has had 3 at once
in the Wilson Road area today. So I went back up around 2 o'clock and did
find 2 at once. They were in two different areas of the flock, so I didn't
get a picture of them together. Apparently I missed the Adult bird by a few
minutes.

They pretty much occupied a small creek valley and a few front yards with
bird feeders. There is a young Red-tailed Hawk that comes thru and takes
shots at the blackbirds. I haven't seen him be successful, but the
blackbirds seem to come right back to the area every 20 to 30 minutes.

I have photo's if anyone wants to see. This was a great year bird for me on
my state list.
