Okay, so when I write Scotland, I'm referring to St. Mary's County, MD. Just in case you thought I took a flight across the Atlantic to see this bird. I only drove to the South to the fields just before Point Lookout. The bird stayed a fair distance away from us the entire morning, before a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK decided to fly in, thereby dispersing the blackbird flock far away and all over. Here are a few distant shots of this beautiful bird.I'll never look at a flock of Starlings and Cowbirds the same again...

ps. Remind me sometime to tell you a story all about the Goshawk that might have been.

October Hummingbirds
I welcome your thoughts on this bird that appeared today (or possibly yesterday) to the plants in our yard. For the record, I shot these in the mid-day sun, through a window. My apologies for the quality of the photographs.
Here are two more shots from this morning (7:40AM, presumably the same bird). The bird sure looked interesting, but thought it was most likely a richly colored Ruby-throat.Good Birding,
