That area is loaded with many species of birds and waterfowl. For the past few years there has been a nasty red-winged blackbird nesting in my neighbor's large maple tree and every time I go out of my house to do anything he attacks me and my husband even though we are not there to do him any harm. I believe he has other nests in the area in addition to this one because it does not matter which direction I go he seems to find me and proceeds to attack. I have resorted to carrying an open umbrella when I need to go out for my mail or to be in my yard because I need the protection from his attack. Needless to say, the red-winged black bird is not my favorite species!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
