Here is an evening marsh walk for this #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay

When the sun is setting in this marshland you can see all the pollen, insects and other particulate highlighted. Half the highlights are mosquitos probably lol.

This gang of grackles are kicking up some grass seeds in this area.

They always seem to have a dispute going on in their gang where they were mad at the one on the left. Perhaps the one on the right stole his wife somehow.

The red-winged blackbird females don't want the grackles in their area. They are in full defensive mode.

They will team up to drive other birds out of their territory, especially large ones like hawks and herons.

In the forest area a flock of cedar waxwings. Sadly it was too dark for me to get a clear well lit shot of these guys.

Sparrows are always ready for a close-up. This guy looks like he is in a summer molt.

This dove was warming up in the evening sun. It kind of looks like an Easter marshmallow peep.

This is the last good shot I got out of the walk. This one is called a Common Whitetail but it really has a slightly blue tail. Maybe they are referring to the white lines running down the side of the tail. I hope it eats loads of mosquitos, we got bitten up badly this time.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
