"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

    I love love love Paul's singing & this song especially. We have many of these black birds here we feed every winter. We even have a few red winged ones. I love hearing them up in the trees. Lovely post!

    I was so totally into the top bird's song and had to crack up when that man blew his nose!!!
    I don't think we have those blackbirds here. I loved his song.

    And "Blackbird" is one of my all time favorite Beatles songs. I used to have it on my blog when I matched songs with my art.

    I adore Red Winged BB's too. Emma has a stuffed one from Audubon and when she chews it it calls just like that! haha!

    Wonderful post LS.

    robin - this is so eerie.......right before i read this post my husband was telling me that all those birds killed in arkansas were redwing blackbirds....my favorite bird!! he said that high level hail was what did them in.....

    but on a happier note, i completely enjoyed the full-throated cry of the redwing blackbird in that video.....brings back memories of my childhood in minnesota where i often heard that sound in the marshes~

    Dear *M*,
    We don't have those little red-winged blackbirds in SF either..... strangely, they do inhabit the Peninsula - about 20 miles South of us.... I just adore them though!

    Love to you and Sjimmie,

    Hi Cris.... the blackbirds were on my mind after the tragedy down South - and suddenly, I remembered Paul's song..... perfect! (You know how I like to do little themed-posts!)

    I am thrilled you take care of these gorgeous and melodic birds during Winter! They are so lovely!

    Hugs!!!!

    Amanda, yes, they were on my mind when I did the post....such a tragedy...as I love those little red-winged ones so much....

    You were so lucky growing up and hearing them sing their beautiful songs!!! Sometimes people overlook their beauty and their lovely voices!

    Love,
