Some old RWBs because I miss them

[Scottes]

I miss my Red Winged Blackbirds. So I got all sentimental and looked through my old pics. Here's a few of my favorites.



My absolute favorite - screaming his fool head off. I love that song.

The first time I managed to catch the yellow in the shoulder patch. A very happy moment for me.

I never realized that they aren't always a solid black until I saw this guy.

Only another 3 or 4 months and they'll be back... <sigh>



PS: If you happen to currently have Red Winged Blackbirds in and around your locale then I just don't want to hear it. :)

Nice shots. I love the one on the cattail. It reminded me of the last time I saw RWB's, a couple years ago in Colorado. They were lighting on the cattails there, too. I don't know why I never see any around here.

Those are really great shots, especially the first one. It looks like it is real mad.
What lens did you use?

Good RWB shots. I had one RWB in my viewfinder today, but it barely had any red to it, and definitely not red and yellow.

Great RWB shots, Scott. A couple of more months and it'll be RWBC again. Time to start collecting them dues again. :mrgreen: :lol:

Nice shots, Scott. (#4953) :p

[Belmondo]

We're up to 4960 now, but thanks for the opening. :confused: :rolleyes: ;)

[Mills]

First one is great. Looks like he is yelling at you for taking his picture (unless it is a she).

Nice Scott. We'll do nutchatchs this weekend.

Like the one of the singing bird. Looks like an opera singer in full costume (puffed out sleeves and flowing gown ?):-), and theres definitely none of those here :-).

[stoneylonesome]

Ah spring is in the air, Well maybe 4 months from now :lol: :lol: Thanks for a little taste of it. great shots

[Scottes]

I'm glad you all liked these reposts. I really can't wait until they get back.

SW2001: These were all with the 100-400L, and I'm pretty sure that the first one had a 1.4TC on it, too.

One I took this past spring...

Beautiful shots Scottes, as usual. I like the RWB because they are one of the first signs of spring her in MN. I always smile the first time I hear "oak a leaf" (that's what it sounds like to me anyway :) ) It's supposed to be -30F here tonight so spring is a happy thought.

[cmM]

whatever happened to our RWBBC club embroided baseball caps... :-P

Super shots Scottes.

[Scottes]

KartGirlsMom - You know, many people call their song "okalee" so you're right on the money. Here's a page of sound recordings: http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/spring/RedwingDictionary.html

cmM: Yeah, I know. I got too darn busy, and now I lack motivation. It will probably get a revival after I see my first RWB in the spring. :-)

[Belmondo]

Okay, Scott, here it it.....

Number 5,000.

I decided it post it in one of your threads.

First one to 5,100 is a rotten egg......

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to bed for a while.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Scottes]

You must have been tingling with anticipation, weren't you?

Congrats on the big 5K my friend. I'll wait for you at 5100.
But not for long.

[Belmondo]

Whopee Doo!!

Now I can start on my second 5,000.

[IanD]

Holy posting Batman! Congrats tom and I think Scott might fall behind a little this weekend unless you consider that posts he makes from Canada are worth double. Yeah, that would work.:):):):):):):)

[Belmondo]

I guess we're all coasting this weekend. We're off to the Bay Area first thing tomorrow morning. I'll be checking in, but won't have much time for fun and games.

Later.

[stoneylonesome]

Whopee Doo!!

Now I can start on my second 5,000.

Look out Marie and CDS Tom is on the move :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nice 'shots'!
=========================
NOT PC, so if your'e 'sensitive', stop reading.
I used to love seeing them perched on a stalk, waving in the wind.
EXIF data: 5-15 mph winds, 100-200 yards, 22-250, .1 second exposure.
Now I shoot cardboard.
