These birds make their presence in our western wetlands. They usually breed in loose colonies and build their nests over water, attached to cattails and reeds. Along with its cousin, the Red-winged Blackbird, they seem to pose for me on my walks around our lake.

Cattail Cross
Nature at work creating beauty for us. A walk to the Prospect Ponds area just east of Fort Collins provided me the chance for this image. I have so often in the past missed seeing natures art because I was caught up in my thoughts rather than staying present to where I am at. This world is so beautiful when we live in it.
