What a terrific capture you got here Sandy. Beautiful composition and what a nice background. Larger version shows great sharpness. Love the pose and you have a nice head turn. Nicely done.

Beautifully composed. I like the two-tone BG and the two-tone perch. Excellent pose and head turn. Is this a female or a juvenile?

RWBB = red-winged blackbird. A fairly common bird in the US and Canada. It's name is derived from the adult male which is a glossy black with epaulet-like red patches on it's wings.
