Red-winged Blackbird

Pretty pose and capture in the 1st image John. I'd assume he's puffed out because of others around him?
Interesting epaulet display from behind on the landing image. Quite a unique perspective.

Thank you Steve. There were several in the area.

nice John, I have Red winged black birds here most of the day

You must be in a riparian area. Thanks Jeff.

Very nice indeed.

Thanks Peter.

That first shot is a cracker John!

Thank you Lester.

Love the first shot John.
The blackbirds (red winged and yellow headed) are hard to get close to.
You nailed it.

Thank you Jeremy. That they are.
