jodelak Cream of the Crop  More info | May 10, 2012 18:31 | #1 This is again, another few weeks of perseverance, until I was able to get a few decent shots of the yellow-headed blackbird. He is always in the reeds, you can only hear him, but won't see him. This changed when another male arrived and they started to fight for the female.    And here's the magic  . Don't worry, there are no animals hurt in this picture  This last pic is actually a big crop, I just want to share because it looked so interesting to me Thanks for looking and C&C always welcome ... does it really matter?i see with my eyes, i shoot with my fingers.

Great pics. Thanks Jeremy, I got these shots at around 4~5pm, I think they are more active at this time. Diamond Lil wrote in post #14413123 Joe, so very cool that you made the captures. Congratulations. All are good, but your in flight photograph is perfect! The magic shot is way too much fun. I wonder what possessed him to position himself that way. Great that you caught it!
