I witnessed what I thought was peculiar this evening. I watched a juvenile male red-winged blackbird flying around for about 15 minutes with a catepillar stuck in his mouth. Perhaps it was too full? I saw it flying from bush to tree to weeds and back as it was being harassed by its (parents?) - all the while having this catepillar in its mouth.

Don't know if this is common RWB behaviour. Anyway, caught some of the action on camera.

Whoops, sorry wrong directory (glad it wasn't the naughty ones :p )

All good Captures Loupey , i cant help you with the young RW`s behavior but it does seem strange .

I can't help either, but maybe he was gloating about his first catch?

Naughty one huh :wink: :lol:
