Chip is a cutie! We don't have red-winged blackbirds over here - they look gorgeous. My favourite birds in my garden are the blackbirds (they're black all over) - they're such characters. Whenever we're away, which is often, I say hello to every blackbird I see, regarding them as if they ARE one of our home crowd, and say 'oh, you've come too, have you?' or 'you're a long way from home'! It's a lovely connection.
