Redwings and cottonwood

Agelaius phoeniceus and Populus deltoides. Both widely distributed and commonplace, but personally evocative of early spring in central Nebraska.




All summer long, I see redwings as individual birds, mostly associated with cattails, but in early March they're a superorganism inhabiting cottonwoods.
