Nature Miramichi

Last Monday a Red-winged Blackbird seemed to be eating the extremely tiny seeds of a cattail. I watched it for about 15 minutes. There seems so little to eat as spring has not yet “sprung”. The Canada Geese and Blackbirds don’t seem to be around the marsh during the day, only in the mornings and evenings. They must be going elsewhere to find food. We have seen Red-winged Blackbirds “hanging out” with Grackles in our garden area. See a video clip:
