When I first spotted this bird he was looking a bit disheveled and I wasn’t sure if it was a female Red-winged Blackbird, which are rather drab, or a juvenile.
He changed positions on this twig several times working to keep his balance. I’m leaning toward juvenile especially after seeing a hint of red on one shoulder.
Finally, he got it all together for a dignified look.
Love the poses! Terrific detail Ellen!
Thanks, Belinda! His efforts to get settled made a good photo shoot.
Beautiful, Ellen!
Thanks, Pete! Nice for us when birds land out in the open.
I also like these various poses Ellen!
Thanks, Liz! The little birds can be quite entertaining.
