I’ve been trying this whole time to get a photo for the the CORVID-2020 weekly challenge. I live with 3 kinds of blackbirds, ravens, magpies but got no half-way good photos. THEN I got so carried away by irrelevant bullshit that I didn’t immediately realize I GOT ONE!!! And a beautiful one though the photo does not do him justice.
But there’s also a movie… His song.

“Summer is the season of inferior sledding” - Inuit proverb 
The boy blackbirds (there are a lot of them) are judged by the ladies by their songs. The best singer gets laid.
What a pretty bird!
He sure is sitting pretty!
I like him, singing his heart out in the Big Empty. Of course, it is not empty at all. It is quite perfect for him and his kind.
He really is rather gorgeous looking, Martha.
I am charging the battery of my camera. Maybe I can do better by him. He’s a beautiful guy.
It’s worth a try, Martha. Phone cameras are so good these days, but distance is the issue.
Yeah, I can’t get close enough for my phone to do well.
