The first and last are nice and really show these birds in their element - oddly perched on a stray twig or other protrusion. Nice going. Looking forward to seeing more! 5DMkIV + some Lenses

Hope to catch one of these some day when they've temporarily flown to a better location for a photo. Next time it is overcast head out to that spot. You'll see a huge difference in photographing blackbirds in overcast light. Slower shutter speeds, yes, but the blacks are easier to expose. The first shot is still very nice though, and nicely composed. Daniel Cadieux
