Yeah, so there wasn't much going on at the park I frequent. I saw Indigo Buntings, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Yellow Warblers, Red-tailed Hawks, but this guy was the only one who wanted to really cooperate!

Very nice, this is one bird I've never gotten a good photograph of.

Thanks! I never used to bother taking pics of these guys with my film camera as I always wanted to save the film for the 'good birds'. But since I got the digital I'll shoot anything that moves, or sits, or whatever! They are common as hell, but they really are beautiful.

Nice shots! I see them occasionally flying by our house, but they don't want to stop for very long.

Good shots.. Black birds are hard to expose, especially against a light background, but you got all the deail..

In the summer there are zillions of these where I live :)

Great shots ngannet!
Yours are 100X better than my RWB shots. I need to go back and get some more.
