Redwing Blackbird

Gallery: AvianPosted April 20, 201079 views5 comments

I had a chance to go back to my Blackbird spot a couple of days ago. This one posed nicely for me and even sang me a song. It looks like I may get to make a day trip down to Klamath Marsh later this week. Hopefully I will see some more of these and maybe even some Yellow Heads. Taken with the Canon 50D and Sigma 150-500. C&C welcome.

Nice shot. The detail is terrific.

I like the perch and the singing pose here Clayton, to my eye the detail doesn't look that great so I'm wondering if this was a fairly large crop.

Very nice composition and detail. Love the background and you have great detail in the dark bird.
