Here is another picture of the Female Red Winged Blackbird takng a few days back...a little different pose of bird and in vertical format. Two days ago I tried to get a picture of here sitting in nest on her eggs...but finding it dificult to do as she leaves nest when I approach and nest is so well hidden. I don't want to disturb her too much. But have found a lot of these birds nesting in other reeds...and some are really well hidden...

Not much else to say, other than fantastic picture. 10+ in my opinion.

This is simply a wonderful shot of this remarkable bird. I have never seen one of these before but I love its markings. Well captured and framed too. Well done!

Superb work Gerry. I just got my first red winged black bird photo today, and I think I got the female too. I will post them tonight. Not near as good as yours, but I am just starting taking photos in the real world instead of from my deck.

Very good Gerry and the coloring would really make her difficult to see in the reeds. Nice post.

She has a bit of a regal air about her, Gerry. Excellent capture... and with Mother's Day right on top of us, too.

spot on focus on the bird Gerry - you captured her beautifully! I can understand how difficult it is to capture a bird sitting on it's nest - they are so protective and will be trying to distract you!

Excellent capture Gerry. The background colors so compliment the color of this bird that it makes it near perfect. Your DOF is spot on as is your composition. Right to my favorites it flew. Thank you for sharing this with me :=)
