Bird 2

I'm continuing with Sam's choice of birds and thought I'd mix in some "living" birds with the decorative ones I have around my home. I took this the other day at Aspen Ridge Farm while the sheep shearing was taking place. I love to listen to calls and chirping of Red-Wing Blackbirds and was excited to catch this one without my tripod!

Still in catch-up mode. Look at them all; comment on a few that way I'll still be able to keep up with you! I truly appreciated everyone's support as I keep putting up 5 to 6 pictures at a time!
