Oh the Redwing, she's a pretty thing...

It was really windy here today, and the birds were really struggling. But I did manage to catch this Red-Winged blackbird on a short sprint.

The title references an obscure song from the 70's, from a band called Grinderswitch. Look it up on youtube!

I never thought about how a windy day might be a good photo op for in-flight birds; they're slowed down a bit if they're flying INTO the wind! Great catch here.
