Thanks berry much.

I caught this Blackbird out of the corner of my eye when I popped home for lunch today, at first I wondered what it had in its beak.

My first thoughts was a peg or something because of how bright red the berry looked, so glad it wasn't, hope you like the shots.

    This blackbird is making those cherries (berries) look delicious. Great pictures Mike. So glad you went home for lunch and took the time to snap a few pictures.
