SYS these are beautiful. You've certainly got some very nice shots.
Imagine that bird difficult to capture well.

Red-winged Blackbirds aren't as difficult as some others in similar size. Females are lot easier to capture in flight and males are easier in portraiture. Males tend to be lazy and like to sit still for a long time while the females are more flighty so more opportunity to shoot them airborne. Females also tend to telegraph their take off lot more so than the male counterparts.

Fantastic shot, Shalu. These two don't get much privacy. They must think you are the paparazzi.

Very attractive shot, Melissa. I love the composition, with the old dead limb, and the smaller branches coming off.

Very nice shot, fotoi. I just noticed that one little water droplet, just below the coot's bill. It looks cool. And I really like the colors in the water.

Very cool looking shot, Sid. I like the water droplets in the air and the yellow reflections in the water.

Thanks Mike. Yeah, the water drop was a lucky coincidence. Thank you.
