Yellow-headed Blackbirds Close and Colorful!

As usual, as spring has progressed the Yellow-headed Blackbirds have arrived en masse. Here's a closeup of the birds below one of the feeders. A Red-winged Blackbird (showing mostly the yellow band) and Brown-headed Cowbird can also be seen.
 We have several feeders placed about the property. Sometimes a dozen to two dozen Yellow-headed Blackbirds are at each feeder simultaneously. Here's one:

They even come up on the deck were we have a feeder hanging above:
Other visitors are Cassin's Finch, Steller's Jays, Mourning Doves, and large numbers of Evening Grosbeaks continue to stop by.
