Red Winged Blackbird

This little guy kept rising into the sky and hovering above me. Not being overly superstitious, decided it was probably not an omen but that he had a nest in the area and wanted us to back off. So Indy and I took a different route. Not an issue today - a cool front blew through this afternoon and for once I wasn't a sweaty mess and Indy was positively frisky. Taking a little longer on our walk was actually a pleasure.
