Getting Ready

This red-winged blackbird is getting ready to belt it out. When it does, it puffs up and displays full red patches on its shoulders. Here, the red is just starting to be displayed. Alas, timing is everything.

@365projectorgjoworboys I was hoping I could capture the full red display. It's quite amazing! Another time :)

A great capture and details it would be lovely to see it's wing colours in full.

@wendyfrost I'll try again, Wendy. I would like you all to see the amazing red wings!

[Diana]

A wonderful capture of this puffed up beauty. Do you not have the possibility on your camera to shoot high speed continuous? You would be able to get the whole display ;-)

AA great shot of his ruffled look , not familiar with this bird and it would be amazing to see the full impact of his coloured wing !
