The weather has warmed up in Chicago, so I decided to eat my lunch outside. As I was opening my lunch this beautiful black bird flew to my table. You can see from the expression on his face that he was not there for friendly chitter-chatter.
Instead, he was a bully arriving to say, “hand over the goods!”
He was so bold that I had time to raise my camera and take this photo of him. He didn’t even move, just stood there. Since he allowed me to take this fabulous photo of him, I rewarded him with a piece of my pear. Boy, was he HAPPY. I don’t think he was expecting a juicy fruit.
Are you familiar with this bird? Share your knowledge with us. My friends say he is a red-winged black bird. Yes… No…?
Brilliant Viewpoint 
I know less about birds than I know about flowers, and I know nothing about flowers

Yes, it’s a red-winged blackbird. They occasionally pass through here, on their way south or north.

Yes, he’s a red-winged blackbird. They are all over my feeder this year along with the Cardinals and goldfinches. Great shot.

I’ve not seen this bird before. Always blue jays and cardinals. In fact, I haven’t seen the goldfinch either. I will keep an eye out for them.

Thank you, I was lucky to get such a good photo. Usually, the birds fly away so quickly.
