During the crucifiction, a blackbird flew near Jesus on the cross and wondered what it could do to lessen his pain. He hovered near the crown of thorns and began to tug on a spike with all his might. The barb finally came out, but not before splattering his wings with a generous splash of red. To thank the blackbird for its kind act he made the coloring permanent and that is how the redwinged blackbird came to be. I just love these origen stories don't you? Loved the red egg story, but have you heard this one?

Reminds me of a certain red priestess who spreads ancient wisdom packaged in a fabulously hip+sassy blog.
