Spring (And Romance) Is In the Air

The weather got freakishly warm yesterday, after the rain finally cleared off; and so Emily and I dashed over the nearest park to enjoy some time outdoors without having to brave the elements.  When we got there, we noticed a rather large number of very vocal red-winged blackbirds were hanging out all around us.

It turns out that this demure little lady was the reason for all the trilling and hopping about with wings half outstretched and red feathers fluffed up.  You'd never guess she was the same species!
