Red Winged Blackbird

[Wendy]

He's squawking about something! Maybe he is wondering why he came north so early!
A lovely high key shot with such stark contrasts.
Well done and A FAV!

@farmreporter Thanks. The woods were full of blackbirds. They are high speed fliers!

Good shot

Terrific capture with the beak open! Lovely.

@joansmor @ljmanning Thank you. My lens was hunting, had to go into manual, not easy with this long protruding lens. Regardless, this is fun. I saw a beautiful cardinal in my backyard today, hopefully he hangs around but we have snow coming in....
