Wonderful capture! I believe that is a female red winged blackbird though. How do I know? She's on an old cattail plant, which is where they build their nests. Also, I learned to identify them a few years ago on 365! Ha ha ha! :)
My first thought was that's a large sparrow! Then I saw Julie's comment and knew she was right! I love the browns and golds of the bird and reeds set against the blue water. Great shot!
