LATO docent ~ nature photographer Mike Klatt shared these observations and photos:
"The last couple of evenings a bit after sunset, large numbers of red-winged blackbirds have been flying to roost for the night in the Italian cypresses in our backyard. We're not sure where they are coming from, but we do see them in a large valley oak tree that's about 50 yards away from the Italian cypresses before they fly to the cypresses. The sound is truly beautiful. It's like a choir of red-winged blackbirds all singing good night to each other. There must be at least 100 or more of them."
