Dan and I spotted this guy in a cafe in Punta Cana. If you will notice he only has one leg . He hopped around eating scraps off the floor. He finally took a seat and I whipped out my trusty nikon and said Smile !

I love the simplicity of your composition, bird and chair. The Lennon/McCartney song "Black Bird" came to mind...'Blackbird singing in the dead of night. Take these broken wings and learn to fly.'
Well done Marsha.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
Good focus on the eye Marsha!....Hoppy looks Happy to be there

"Never stop photographing. It is very likely that your best photograph has not yet been captured">
Unusual to see a blackbird on a chair. Super shot with very good clarity Marsha.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
A great opportunity grabbed by you - another example of your sharp eye for a photo. It turned out really well and is a delight to see.
Poor little thing with only one leg.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
I never see a blackbird without starting to hear that Beatles song in my head. Poor one legged birdie! Nice shot, Marsha.

Not sure if this is a Blackbird Marsha.?
Looks a lot like a Boattail Grackle judging by it's Huge Tail Feathers.
I like the Composition itself it reminds me of a Hitchcock Novel.

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By. Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
You did good on the timing of this one Marsha, makes me wonder what happened to him, but at least he gets around okay. This would be good for the B&W challenge. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
OK, you captured this at just the right moment. Really like the coloring, the fact that this beautiful blackbird was on a black chair. Excellent composition and details. Bravo. Unique!

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
You captured this bird in a lovely setting with the chair and when you enlarge this photo the detail in the chair and bird stand right out ,well done and I like the light in this photo too.

Whether it's a Blackbird or a Boattail Grackle it's doing just fine with one leg, isn't nature amazing. (o:

Life is too short. Live wisely.
You did a fine job in capturing this, Marsh. Very well handled.

Good composition of the scene and a nice capture of the blackbird, Marsha. There's a one-legged crow that visits home for the last couple of years but I've never been able to catch it with the camera. Maybe I should try using a net.

Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane. -- Philip K. Dick, Valis
Makes me think of Humphrey Bogart. The scene, not the bird.
