"The red-winged blackbird sings, but not to call his pied-brown mate or a cattail congerie-- he sings to be singing: he sings. The red-winged blackbird sings, but not for the ever-returning spring, or other springs, gone by-- he sings to be singing: he sings . The red-winged blackbird sings, not to recall in us some preter- natural nature of things: he sings" By : Tom Gannon

Marsha, this is a super close up, I believe it might be one of your best bird captures. Very good composition, focus, and I like that you caught the eye glint. Tigs♥ =^..^=

I was taking some photo's of a Red Winged Blackbird the other day. I think I was listening to them sing more than clicking my camera. Wonderful capture, Marsha ... love the detail.

When I was a Kid (many moons ago) I'd see these by the hundreds during the late Fall and Early winter. Now I can't remember the last time I actually saw one. thanks for sharing.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Excellent capture Marsha - they love to hang around cattails in a marshy areas - the quote is perfect.
